Does transferring more than once hinder my chances of getting in?

<p>I want to transfer to another college closer to home next semester. I need to help my parents get situated and will be commuting to this said college. I am going to get a job, help my parents out, and even get situated myself. It is still a good college. I currently go to Fairfield University and am transferring to Quinnipiac University. I want to transfer to Uconn, which i didnt get into the first time, for fall semester of next year.</p>

<p>Will these multiple transfers look bad on my transfer transcript? Quinnipiac is the 11th ranked school in the northeast while fairfield (for private schools) is ranked 2nd behind villanova. If i still get around a 3.5 in both, will it hinder my chances of getting into uconn????</p>

<p>my high school transcript was really strong, but my SATs were not up to par. I am in radio and a few other clubs so I am also involved on campus.</p>

<p>Can someone please answer this?</p>

<p>It shouldn’t be a problem. You can explain that you helped your parents resettle if you are asked.</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>And again…</p>

<p>No… I went from a CC–>to a state school–>to multiple top 20 acceptances…zero issues</p>

<p>What was your Gpa? And was this all in a year? Like cc then state school in one year?</p>

<p>Actually, if anything (IMO), I think this might help you. It could show you adjusted to transferring the first time well if your GPA indicates that, and you are definitely staying when you get to UConn. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thank you so much. And I hope I do well. I’m trying.</p>

<p>Why do you feel you have to transfer to Quinnipiac for the spring term? Why don’t you just take a leave from your current university, and take the whole spring off? This would allow you to help your parents get settled, make a bit of money, and concentrate on your transfer applications. Only transfer to Quinnipiac if you know now that you would be happy to stay there and graduate if you can’t successfully transfer elsewhere.</p>

<p>If I commute I can still go to a good school and help my parents and get my mind right. I won’t be sleeping in a dorm. Showering in a stall. And could visit my friends at their colleges to see what it is like and if I want to transfer there.</p>

<p>Would transferring to a lesser school hinder my chances of getting in?!</p>

<p>Anyone? ):</p>

<p>Personally I don’t think it would as long as you do well. If you end up doing worse at a lower rank school than you did at a higher rank school, then it might have some adverse effects. The same can be true if you did bad at the higher ranked school and then you do better at the lower ranked school. UConn might think you’d be better situated there UNLESS you have some outstanding achievements while you’re at the lower rank school.</p>
