<p>I am interested as well.</p>
<p>At my school the 1st sem is just as important as the second semester because the transcripts report only the final grade for the class</p>
<p>im still in high school but i will attend CCC and transfer for junior year
=(
oh my..</p>
<p>if you're transferring for JUNIOR year... your high school grades probably won't matter as much. the farther you get away from high school, the less it matters! so i wouldn't worry too much - just focus on excelling the next two years, and you should be fine :)</p>
<p>do you recommend taking sat/act after hs? I will also be applying to OOS schools</p>
<p>i think it depends on the schools you're applying to... each one is different, how much they use/rely on sat and act scores. plenty of people do, and it can't hurt!</p>
<p>ok thanx do you think sat is preferred over ACT?? Cause I want to take ACT instead of SAT....</p>
<p>since SAT is sort of taken by more people, i think there might be an advantage if u take it + SAT:Subject tests instead of ACT..</p>
<p>i would, again, check with the school - most take them equally, a few prefer SATs, but if i recall correctly, i remember my guidance counselor saying a couple might actually prefer the ACTs....</p>
<p>probably, you should take whichever you test better at!</p>
<p>Anyway, do colleges care about 2nd semester senior year grades when applying as a transfer after freshman year?</p>
<p>And how much do colleges care about course difficulty? E.g., if I took AP physics in high school, would they care if I took it again in college?</p>
<p>Right. I am in a similar scenario with the how AP Physics (AP Bio with me). Should I take more advanced classes or just get the A in the class I essentially already took...though the transferring college might dislike that...?</p>
<p>Right on Yale Hopeful.</p>
<p>How many people that transfered actually went into their freshman year of college thinking that they would transfer?</p>
<p>Went into? No. By Winter Break first year? Yes.</p>
<p>i knew i wasn't going where i wanted to go... i decided to go to a school i didn't like when i visited and really didn't want to go to, because they gave me too much money to turn down. when i sent in my decision, everyone (parents included) told me to just try for a year and then transfer. although i was really unhappy with the decision, i eventually got over it and figured i'd stay there - i never really pictured myself going through with the hassle of transferring. however, i soon realized i was far too unhappy to stay. my parents (who had never really thought i would want to transfer) were convinced that i had CONVINCED myself ahead of time that i would hate it (which was the source of many arguments during the year lol), but i know this isn't true... before i got there i really never thought i would transfer, honestly. but i am now, and i'm happy and excited :D</p>
<p>The Illinois Institute of Technology is a ****hole that also gives money to make up for lack of ...everything.</p>
<p>lol I have also heard IIT is not a good school. Fortunately, I am interested in schools like HYPS.</p>
