<p>Problem: Got expelled from high school senior year, finished at nearby rival high school (toy gun in car). Yea, it sucked.</p>
<p>Always wanted to go to UVA (I’m in-state), but lackluster GPA in high school squashed any chances. Do I have a shot now?</p>
<p>High school grades are really unimportant, its only your college grades that matter and I know people that were accepted with a 3.6 in college. Though the college you attend right now does make a little difference</p>
<p>That’s not true fallacy. They look at high school grades/college grades 50/50 for sophomore transfers (applying after first year). High school grades matter as much as college grades do in his situation.</p>
<p>Hi, Battag19, what school are you trying to transfer from?</p>
<p>I think you have a good shot, definitely. A 4.0 is something to be proud of. The only thing that might be a problem is that although you have a 4.0 for your first semester in college, they might look at your high school transcript more closely because they only have a semester to judge you on. Whatever it is, I wish you luck, I am trying to transfer too bro.</p>
