i find it unfair that for a college transfer HIgh school has to come into the picture



When you apply for a soph transfer, you will have only completed 1 sem/qt at college, so not only do colleges ask for your HS record and test scores, they will give more weight to them. Do you really think that a school like H is likely to accept you after 1 semester of a 3.7 at college and disregard your HS record? A 3.7 is low for a fr applicant and the acceptance rate is about 4x higher for fr than it is for transfers.

Go to college, enjoy yourself and meet new people, do excellent in your classes and ECs, THEN think about transferring up to a more selective college.

Leave the HOPE to Obama and live in the real world.
