<p>Hey all, I'm in a bit of a different boat than most.</p>
<p>I'm considering transfer in Fall 09 to several schools as a junior. I will be a sophomore at USC, I currently have a 3.7 in Marshall and aim (though no guarantee, obviously) to have closer to a 3.8 by the time I transfer. I have good EC involvement; I have some really awesome experience with a service-oriented job (with some good leadership), involvement in the arts, etc. but I just feel mediocre compared to high school.</p>
<p>In high school, my resume was extremely strong and I just feel a little depressed that it will never be that strong again. I graduated saludatorian, 4.0, SB President, great SAT/AP etc.</p>
<p>I guess it's a classic case of big fish in a small pond all of a sudden becoming the little fish, but here's my question: I know that as a junior applicant my high school record counts for less. Unlike most other transfer, who were mediocre in high school but do fantastic in college, however, I am somewhat the other way around (though I guess I am doing better than mediocre at a challenging school with a rigorous course load, my reusme just doesn't feel as strong). I will be applying to several top schools and a couple of safety schools, will my HS record count for anything significant, or am I going to be judged almost entirely on college?</p>
<p>It just doesn't seem like I've had enough time to build myself up in college yet, though I guess I do have almost a full year before any of the applications are due. Thanks.</p>
