Also remember that colleges are the most interested in how you are doing in your Junior/Senior year…when you are taking the most challenging classes. So if you are doing well now that is to your advantage.

Downsides to thinking of transferring ahead of time:

1. You are not as invested in your first school and don’t get involved in clubs/activities

2. You are unlikely to get any scholarships as a transfer vs. being a freshman

3. You will have to make new friends as a junior

4. You may be disappointed in the level of student interest in academics in the first college

5. All your credits may not transfer or you may have to take more classes to meet requirements

6. You will lose any relationships you have with professors
