<p>Would a good college GPA offset a mediocre high school record?</p>
<p>I have a 4.0 from UT Austin, but I made 7 B's in high school (public high school in Houston, 40% go to 4 year colleges). None of my grades were above a 91. </p>
<p>That being said, would my HS transcript diminish my chances of transferring to an ivy?</p>
<p>for a junior xfr--no</p>
<p>for a sophomore xfr-yes</p>
<p>( I am addressing the second way you phrased your question...)</p>

<p>If you are a sophmore transfer then high school grades are taken into consideration along with your ACT/SAT. It is possible your 4.0 will help you, but the problem is, they just don't have as many available transfer spots for sophmores so they only take the best. I think if you can keep up your amazing gpa you will definitely be a competitive applicant when junior transfer comes around.</p>
<p>when they say they have 40 spots a year, does that mean soph + junior? that's scary.</p>
