<p>since i hijacked someones thread, i thought i would ask this Q in one of my own..:D </p>

<p>i graduated from an international high school....i was alright in high school but not the "best"..i really want to go to stanford but am also worried i might not get in...i have a great GPA and im thinking of doing 2 yrs at my college and then applying for transfer..do i have a better chance if i complete my 2 yrs with a good balance of required classes..?? i mean will they stil give my high school transcripts more importance or is my college classes that will determine my chances of getting in ?? </p>

<p>Have you already applied to Stanford? </p>

<p>If you haven't, apply as a freshman. You might get in. </p>

<p>Transfer admission is more difficult than freshman admission. You will have to have a 4.0, more or less, to have a good chance at getting into Stanford as a transfer student. At that point, college grades will matter more but high school stuff will also be taken into consideration.</p>

<p>And if you didn't apply as a freshman, that will show less overall interest in the school.</p>
