<p>^ doberhound1, that’s sort of the same problem I’m currently facing… I transferred between my sophomore and junior years, and will do so again between my junior and senior years. That transfer took a hit on my GPA, mainly because I’m currently not living with my parents anymore, as well as a number of other factors, including the ultra-competitiveness of my current school. Luckily, my next transfer will be to a school that isn’t quite as competitive. I hope things like this are taken into account, and that the claim “holistic admissions process” holds true…</p>
