Hi, I am currently a sophomore at Southern Methodist University based in Dallas. I came here hoping to get into the Cox School of Business but that most likely won't happen. That in addition to a decrease in scholarship amount has led me thinking about transferring to the University of Texas at Dallas (where I am already accepted into the finance program). If I were to stay at SMU, then I would pursue an economics major with financial applications minor in addition to paying close to 50k a year.

If your goal is dead-set BB S&T neither will help you all that much - especially if you're not in Cox at SMU. More important than your degree is your GPA, so if you can't make it into Cox (assuming GPA related) than your chances are looking slim right now for S&T. What year are you and what's your GPA? Try and transfer somewhere else; look at some undergrad b-school ranking and target schools that could be possibilities for transfer, and that are ranked somewhat high. Econ at SMU for $50k a year simply won't be worth it.

New, advice needed

SMU is a much bigger name nationally. It all depends on what you want to do after school. If you think you can get to the job you want from a less expensive institution, then it might make sense to transfer. SMU may open more doors though, which could lead to a higher profile entry level job.
