I already started a thread in this post, but I had some basic questions regarding transferring that I could not really find the answer to.

Just to give some background, I am currently a commuter student in New York, who wishes to go to an out-of-state university to study engineering as well as do research. My first year GPA was a 3.68. I also had good grades in high school (93 unweighted GPA taking all Honors & AP classes and a 1390 on the SAT's). Right now I am not sure exactly where I want to go, but I am thinking about schools like University of Arizona and University of Wisconsin.

Now my questions are:
1. Since I want to transfer by Fall 2008, when would be the best time to get my application out (I know the answer is soon, but how soon)?
2. When I transfer, do my grades from my old school get transferred and factored in to my College GPA, or is it just my credits that get transferred?
3. Are most students who transfer after two years still able to finish up in four years?
4. Do transfer students face any problems in the future with applying to graduate school?

I tried looking up some of these answers in the forums, but I couldn't find the answers to these questions. If anyone can answer these or post up a link that contains these answers it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

1 Uh, are you applying to a UC? If so, the filing period is Nov 1 the end of Nov (I believe, check the website, its sometime in that area). The UC application comes out Oct 1st
2 No, old community college grades dont count on your UC GPA.
3 Yes, but whats the rush? Take your time, but dont take more than 5 semesters. They care more that you finish within 5 semesters than they do about you exceeding the unit limit.
4 Most of us dont know for sure, I've only heard speculations.
