Why do you want to transfer? Where are you now, where do you want to transfer to, and what is your major? Do you have any financial constraints?

Generally the longer that you are at your current university, the less important high school grades will be. However, details may vary depending upon what university you are trying to transfer to.

Your reason to want to transfer can also matter. If you want to transfer to Harvard or Stanford because you are looking for prestige, then this is not likely to work. If you want to transfer to your in-state public university because the small university where you are currently does not have your desired major, this is more likely to be successful. Students also sometimes transfer to their in-state public universities to save money, which again is often successful.

We occasionally see posts from students on CC who have transferred, regret their transfer, and want to transfer back to their original university. In general you should have a good reason before you choose to transfer.

But I think that we need more information before we can give accurate advice.
