<p>Hi! I have some questions about transferring colleges :/</p>
<p>Okay, so my first question is...does it matter where you transfer from as long as its regionally accredited and you get a high gpa (3.6+) with some challenging courses? I feel like due to financial reasons I might end up at an instate low tier state university (SCSU :() ...since I am unable to commute to a CC. Even though I would have preferred to transfer from a CC. This way, I will be able to get a lot of genEds out of the way and save some money i guess.</p>
<p>Also, I've read about how if you have a poor HS record, then waiting to transfer after 2 years would be the best option since it would be weighted less heavily. Is this true? In my case, my HS record is pretty bad but I hope that in the future the transfer adcoms will see this in a positive light about how I've overcome adversity. Do you think they could view it that way? My dreamy transfer reaches would be UPENN, Emory (which is in the 30-40%s for transfers but still--they are trying to get more transfers I've read.), vandy and WUSTL and maybe my match/safety school the U of MN (state flagship).</p>
<p>I plan on making the most out of my college experience, where I will be involved, try to get some internships and do some community service. I will also definitely (hopefully :b) write good transfer essays w/o bashing my current school. And lastly, hopefully get some good prof. recommendations...</p>
<p>Another question I have is do colleges give good financial aid to transfer students? I'm low income--my EFC=0. I am also URM but I have no idea if that would help me.Do you know any colleges that are known for giving good fin. aid packages to transfer students...? I know vandy gives good aid.</p>
<p>Lastly, do you think I am on the right path? oh yeah, I'd like to apologize in advance...I know that was a lot of questions :b</p>
<p>I'd highly appreciate a response. Thank you! </p>
