<p>Ive heard that once you have 30 credits, USC weighs your college grades more than HS grades, whereas most other schools want to see 60 credits of college work. what other colleges look at your college record primarily after 30 credits or so? i really dont want to stay for 2 years.....1 1/2 maybe but 2 years no!!</p>
<p>NYU ignores SAT and puts little emphasis on high school grades if you have completed at least one year of college.</p>
<p>Hmm thanks…but NYU is extremely expensive and im in need for financial aid…i hope USC is better at giving need based aid haha, but ill give NYU a shot. any other places?</p>
<p>Once you’ve reached the 60 credits, most colleges focus on your college grades and resume. Stuff you did in high school has a very small if any weigh on your decision, especially your college boards. Most schools do not ask you to submit ACT/SAT if you’re a junior transfer. </p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
<p>University of British Columbia waives your high school transcript after 30 credits. As an added bonus, UBC, like the other Canadian universities, doesn’t care one iota about ECs.</p>
<p>i know once you get 60 creds, but are there any colleges that require less before looking mainly at ur hs record?</p>
<p>also im at a state school, (30 credits) and going to transfer to my flagship state this fall…where i will apply to schools again for spring 2012. what if i have like 50 credits rather than 60?</p>
<p>The more college credits, the better. The thing with applying with only one semester under your belt is that colleges do not have much college course work to base their decision off, so they need to turn to your high school credentials. If you were a mediocre student in high school, 3.0-3.5 GPA+ and you’re trying to transfer into a top school, its going to be very HARD. If you have high SATs to factor your GPA out, it would be a little easier.</p>
<p>How was your high school/ SATs and what school are you trying to transfer, what state are you from? You can send information to me in a PM, it is more confidential.</p>
<p>
Transferring twice can work to your disadvantage.</p>
<p>hs GPA is HORRIBLE (tho one of top public hs in nation) 2.0 ish.</p>
<p>sats are 1900</p>
<p>trying to get into Wisco (denied for fall 2011, reapplying for spring 2012), USC, Bucknell, Colgate, UVA, UNC…</p>
<p>college GPA is a 3.7 ish…tons of great ECS…</p>
<p>im transfering to my state flagship this fall, and will reapply to transfer to better schools (state flagship in new england isnt too great)</p>
<p>Yes i realize transferring twice can kill my app, but there are no more econ classes for me to take here. I took macro/micro theory already, and there are no other higher REAL econ classes…just some like “history of econ” and “econ of the future” crap, school doesnt even offer econometrics…</p>
<p>Then work on your general education courses and other prerequisites. Most schools want you to complete upper division classes at their institution.</p>
<p>Thats what ive been doing but i got out of most intro classes through APS…i took like 8 in HS and scored well on exams and school only needs a 3 for credit (lol)</p>
<p>Ive emailed the wisconsin admissions office multiple times and they told me that transferring twice wont be looked upon, esp since its to my flagship state school through an interchange transfer program. (wisco is my #1 choice)</p>
<p>Will my HS record sink my app if i apply with 48 ish credits? (31 done, 18 ish in progress in fall) for top schools such as USC and colgate</p>
<p>I’m also looking into transferring- would taking classes over the summer help at all?</p>
<p>The more college work the better, so I do not object to summer school. Though I am not all for taking courses at community college or a separate university than your current, because college admission counselors can make a valid decision due to the variation of difficulty of coursework, the structure of academics is different from university to university. So take courses at your current school to show that you can handle that level of academics, instead of going home to an easier school (i.e., CC or less known public). </p>
<p>Hope this helps! 2.0 GPA is very low but your SAT is above average, so I think as long as you continue to perform at your level and write some amazing essays that really show your growth and maturation from high school to now, then you should have solid chances at all of your target schools. I’d suggest junior transfer for you though. To overcome your 2.0 GPA, you need to have a lot of college work under your belt.</p>
