How closesly do schools consider High School transcripts?

<p>Yeah, I know this is a really early question, but the thing is I'm a senior in high school now and I've managed to take way too many rigorous courses and I've ended up with an uw GPA of a 3.4 My SAT's we're so hot either 1900 to 2000 on the new SAT's. </p>

<p>So my main question is, If I do well and work my ass of at college, can I transfer to a top tier school like Brown or PENN with a 3.8ish GPA?</p>

<p>I would think that scores like those (I'm not trying to be mean, I'm sorry), will not get you into Brown or Penn from H.S. I think you are correct when you talk about transferring. Which college are you thinking of applying to from H.S.? What type of major?</p>

<p>yeah, my intentions were to transfer lol. sorry if i didnt' mention it in my original post. my target schools right now are University of Pittsburg or Pennstate. By back ups include Drexel, Widener, and Temple. </p>

<p>So if i do well and actually work my freshman year in college and maintain a good gpa at these schools, will I have a decent shot at tranfering to top tier schools?</p>
