<p>My situation: I have been accepted to Washington State University and I'd receive a scholarship from them that would cover all my tuition and fees at the university.</p>
<p>I really wanted to go to UW Seattle this year and I'm still thinking about transferring there, but I also want to attend law school and several people warned me that, when you transfer, the transition will be a lot harder and I also didn't know that my grades won't transfer from a community college to a university - just the credits would.</p>
<p>I am a Running Start student by the way so I could just stay at my CC, finish up my AA and then go to UW - or, if I don't get in, go to WSU.</p>
<p>My parents want me to decide for myself, however, I just don't know what to do.</p>
<p>I don't want to not transfer and later regret my decision but I also don't know if it would have a lot of disadvantages when I'd stay at my CC.
I wanted to take the LSAT in June of my junior year but if I'd really have only one-two years to get stellar grades and would also have to excel the LSAT...</p>
<p>Honestly, I'm really concerned that it will be hard for me to adjust after transferring.
My main concern is really if I will be able to get a high GPA after transferring.</p>
<p>I really, really need to hear some people's opinions and experiences on this!</p>
<p>how hard can transferring be? you will have everything paid for. if you had to get a job and pay bills, I may agree with you. the fact that your grades dont transfer is a good thing. It means you have the opportunity to start over with your GPA. </p>
<p>however, for law school, the LSDAS considers all your grades. so your GPA at the end of University will be different than the LSDAS GPA. for example, at my school I failed two classes, but they have a forgiveness policy. so, I retook the classes and was able to wipe away the two Fs. my GPA is a 3.53 however, for the LSDAS my gpa is somewhere around 3.2 or something. I am transferring to American University (maybe) and I would start off with a new GPA as well. considering how I’m doing in school now… I may end up with a 3.8-3.9 graduating GPA… but my LSDAS score would be much lower.</p>
<p>just do it. everyone needs to go away to college</p>
<p>@ Agentsoapbox,</p>
<p>Thank you! I visited the school and it just didn’t really fit me so I’ll stay at my community college, finish up my AA and then transfer to another 4-year university.
Do you think it is possible to get a stellar GPA in your junior year, directly after transferring?
Maybe I’m just super paranoid but a lot of people have been telling me that the transition from a CC to a university is supposed to be pretty difficult.</p>
