entomom, it appears you have experienced the same situations as I have. Even though my daughter has a 3.8 gpa, there are no scholarships being offered to her as a transfer student to one of our state’s flagship universities. Their aid package was a combination of unsubsidized student and parent loans. I suspect some state univresities are better but the emphasis is certainly on the freshman student. For the life of me I don’t know why given that many universities graduate half of less of them anyway. It would seem to make more sense to provide some non-needbased aid to transfer students who have already weathered the winnowing process.
