how does transferring work exactly?

<p>I'm interested in transferring to a new school next year but I'm only in my freshman year. Do you want until you get your mid-semester grade to send in your application? Do you wait til the end of your first semester? I'm just not sure how the schools go about getting your grades. If you're a freshman do they just ignore your grades and look at your high school record? Sorry for the 20 questions but I'm just kind of on my own and I need some help.</p>

<p>You need to look at the websites of the schools in which you are interested. They will have a deadline date for transfer applications and will spell out exactly what their school requires for transfer. For instance, some schools only take fall transfers, some will take midyear, some require certain courses already be completed, some require a minimum number of hours, etc. Good luck on your search.</p>
