I’m transferring into one of these schools for one year + another year for a masters in finance. Which one should I choose, not considering financial reasons?
Planning to major in Finance if that wasn’t obvious.
I know it sounds crazy...
I am currently a senior at a very badly ranked university in Virginia (you can maybe guess which one lol) and will be going into a 5th year (changed major during junior year). I have had multiple pretty prestigious internships, good grades, good club involvement, etc.
The reason I'm thinking of transferring is the name brand of the school I attend, it is very divisive and not a school I'm proud to attend, and thus get a diploma from. I am looking to maybe transfer for my 5th year to a transfer friendly school who is willing to only require 30 residency credits.
Am I stupid for doing this? Money isn't a huge issue as I've managed to avoid debt throughout college so far. However, I do think that this is "weird" and will get judged for doing so...
I would appreciate any advice greatly!
