Best colleges to transfer to?

My high school GPA is currently ~3.4(unweighted) and I’ve only taken 2 somewhat challenging classes(Pre-Calc & APUSH) Will colleges care about my high school GPA? What about SAT scores?

What are some good colleges that I can still get into, assuming I earn ~4.0 in a CC?

If you’re transferring directly from HS to college, your entire life including everything not academic matters.

If you go to a community college first, and transfer from there, having a GPA above 3 will get you almost anywhere public. If you earn a 4 in CC, you can go anywhere.

If you transfer from a Community College your HS stats would be weighed less than your College GPA. a 4.0 will open lots of opportunities to transfer.
