<p>Hey, I'm sure this question has been asked a thousand times already, but how much does high school GPA factor into transerring? Is it different for sophomore / junior year transfers? I will be a freshman at UNC next year but am considering transferring simply because UNC's Chinese department is practically non-existant (I want to major in Chinese literature). My high school GPA was mediocre (maybe a 3.3 UW), but if I do really well my first semester of college, would I have a chance at Harvard, Stanford, Yale for sophomore year? Junior year? Thanks a lot.</p>
