<p>How important are second semester senior year grades (from high school) for transfer? In relation to overall GPA and other semesters? </p>
<p>Are they sympathetic to seniors slacking off last semester of high school? </p>
<p>And how important are high school grades compared to frosh grades (in college)?</p>
<p>The year closest to when you applied is always the most important. But think of it this way - there are two applicants, both with 4.0's in college. Person A got a 2.7 in senior year, Person B got a 3.7. Who's gonna get accepted.</p>
<p>Frosh year grades are always the most important though. Everything takes a backseat compared to those.</p>
<p>What about SAT/ACT/SATIIs? Would retaking them be beneficial? </p>
<p>How do I present a "good" transfer app? EC in college? Research? Involvement in current college?</p>
<p>bump, I want to know about those testings too.</p>
<p>If you're applying to transfer as a sop, then test scores and HS grades and classes are very important. Since you apply for transfers in the early spring, schools really only have only one semester/qt at college to judge you on, thus they will also take into consideration your HS record. If you transfer as a jr, what you do in college will have more weight as they will have a year and a half to look at.</p>
