Considering transferring to increase chances to break into IB
I’m a second semester freshman with a 3.83 gpa at a non-target school. Most of the stuff I see/read says that if you’re not at a target/semi-target school you’re basically screwed if you want to get into IB. Is it worth considering transferring to a semi-target/target school as I would be a second semester sophomore at the time of transferring if I was to transfer (think NYU, UMich, UT Austin, UChicago and Villanova if that’s considered a semi-target). I know networking is a huge part of it but I feel as if I was to be at a semi-target/target school my chances would be much better.

I am applying to UVA as well, forgot to include it. As far as ECs go I am in an investment banking club and trading and investment club at my school. I am doing a finance internship right now and have an Audit internship over the summer which I feel is a waste since I want to go into investment banking but I figured any experience is better than none. I am also in the process of finishing the Wall Street Prep premium financial modeling course.

Columbia is acc relatively transfer friendly compared to schools of similar prestige
Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind, Columbia seems like a huge reach though
