<p>during your junior year, do college take note of that?</p>
<p>like not just that you might have less leadership positions but also that the two schools may have different rigor and opportunities and stuff. and do they place more emphasis on the latter school because you've graduated from there?</p>
<p>Of course they notice that. They aren’t stupid. The few colleges that care about ECs would consider the impact of your transfer. </p>
<p>Meanwhile, the overwhelming majority of colleges make their admissions decisions based on grades, scores and – in the case of public universities-- state of residence. Virtually the only colleges that factor ECs into admission are the top colleges that get such an overabundance of high stat applicants that those colleges can afford to select from that outstanding pool the applicants who’ll most contribute to maintaining an active, and diverse student body.</p>
<p>I would think they would notice that. However, it would also help if you transfered to a good school where there are multiple opportunities to be involved. At my school for example, there are plenty of leadership positions that you can hold without having been at the school for a while. Also, ^I agree:)</p>
<p>but like what might happen with me is that i’d move from a competitive area in terms of college admissions (but my school makes it less competitive because we have a good rep with schools) to a very competitive area. when they determine me in admissions, would they consider me a graduate of the “very competitive” area or as a part of the formerly “less competitive” area as well? lol this probably doesn’t make sense but… oh well lol</p>
