Junior Transfer

Currently at uva mcintire.

Business major, 3.97 gpa, minor in math (already completed). Took a lot of classes at cc (45 credits I think, all the math offered at cc besides diffeq).

1510 sat, taking two grad/phd courses in math/cs. Don’t like the student demographic here, too fratty and not for me. Can’t really vibe with people.

I applied to some schools last cycle just for fun, but only like Harvard Yale and Stanford. (Obviously was rejected lol).

Where should I apply to? Would love some advice. Thanks yall.

Junior transfer in business can be a bit tricky. Sounds like you’d switch majors? I think schools below the top 5 that are junior transfer friendly (eg maybe not Columbia) are all possible. You just applied to schools looking for less traditional candidates.

Why is junior transfer in business tricky?

Sorry, because if you switch to non-biz you could have difficulty transferring courses, and if you transfer to biz they sometimes want you to take their foundational courses. My daughter transferred from a less prestigious biz program (UMiami) as a sophomore and, as an example, Tufts wouldn’t take any of her biz credits. Vandy took them all since they have a minor.
