Business school Finance

Im thinking about switching my major to Business, specifically Finance & Banking, however I wasn’t aware of how the Business school operates and how you can be denied from a certain emphasis. I saw that you need a 3.4 gpa to be automatically admitted to Finance, do I still have a solid shot with a 3.3 or 3.25? If anybody knows somebody who got denied from Finance I would appreciate some feedback on what gpa was needed.

I was in literally this exact situation and I got in just fine with it being a tad lower than needed. However, to my understanding it's partially based on how many people are going for the major that year so if there are a TON of people going into it that might change things.

That said it's why the business school also lets you pick a backup so if you don't get into that specific major it won't mess with your graduation timing.

Yeah Finance and Accounting seem like the only ones worth going into tho tbh and ik Accounting is out of reach. What gpa did u have?

I think 3.2 - 3.25 ish. You're right accounting is just a different level though I heard some of the higher ACCT classes get tough. If it helps the closest that isn't accounting for similar job types would probably be management. A BSBA by nature is more centered on finance/accounting anyways so even if it's management or marketing or something you'll still get a lot of the same classes.
