<p>In terms of transfer admissions is it true that for many colleges & universities that it is harder to get in as a transfer student, then as a regular first-year student?</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
<p>Yes. That is very true, especially at top colleges.</p>
<p>One small reason why you don’t wanna think HS is OKAY to blow off.</p>
<p>I ask because I have a below average high school GPA and test scores due to a learning disability in mathematics(didn’t blow off high school at all). However my GPA is quite strong and well above average for a first year college student, and that is likely to continue for next semester.</p>
<p>Especially considering fr many of the schools I’m applying to I’m performing average to above average to the student population already admitted to many of these schools.</p>
<p>Am I still screwed?</p>
<p>^I did not accuse you of blowing off high school.</p>
<p>And, no, you’re not screwed. Make sure you explain that learning disability of yours, and it’s strongly recommended that you have a medical proof showing that you actually have the disability. People who claim learning disability are growing and have doubled since colleges started sympathizing people who have them.</p>
<p>Sorry I wasn’t meaning to accuse you, it’s just usually someone says something in a thread like this and all the posters usually harp on the person who posted the thread.</p>
<p>Also I indeed do have very strong medical documentation of a learning disability in math.</p>
