When will you transfer? As noted, “rising” is typically used over the summer when you’ve completed one year and haven’t started the next, so there may be confusion on your year.
If you’re a current sophomore, when are you looking to transfer? Have you looked at the impact on schooling duration? If you don’t transfer until after the current school year, will you need to repeat some GT Fr and So classes, meaning it may take more than 4 years. To graduate? If so, is this OK?
Starting Freshman year, I’d recommend GT. The time/financial impacts make the decision less clear.
