Hi all,

I am a part-time MBA student at BU SMG. I only applied to Boston University and Boston College last spring and was accepted to BU and wait-listed to BC. I was not accepted to BC and so started at BU in September. I re-applied anyway to BC and was accepted yesterday. I am not sure whether I should transfer or not. I think BC has a stronger alumni network and smaller class sizes, but BU is higher ranked (3 higher in US News, and 15 higher in BusinessWeek) and might be more convenient. Also I think I might have lower student debt if I got to BC and I think I might like the culture a bit more. But I already have made a bunch of friends at BU.

What is everyone's advice?

Also- I am about to take up my 3rd Financial Accounting Mid-term tonight.

Is it really worth the trouble? I think a BC and BU PT MBA are comparable enough where it wouldn't make a huge difference... It seems like you've already started to build a network at BU... If I were you, I'd stay put.

Agree.... they are close enough, that the advantage is not that clear were you to transfer...
