<p>WHat do you guys think about switching skools for a better rank just before (1-3 weeks) applications?! I got a 3.6 gpa, 3.7 weighted (add .5 to each by the end of the semes) and yet im still ranked only 117 out of 685!!! Terrible! IM PRETTY SURE i can get into the top 10 percent if i switch but it may mean having to go to skool up to 10 miles away. If i switch, though i double my rank, is it really worth it? Also it is perfectly convenient for me to drive there everyday (it's down the road i live on) except for the fact i gotta add an extra 10-15 mins to get to skooll and back?
(i've started this thread in another category since the topic fits both categories)</p>
<p>o yeah, to more specifically imply to the category of my thread, willl the effect on college admission be worth it? Also i will have no problem adjusting to friends because some of my best friends go here and plus i can always chill with my old ones outside of school. Come on everybody need replies!!</p>
<p>uh... for my school if you switch during junior year or later, you don't get a rank</p>
<p>add 0.5 gpa in one semester? that's huge</p>
<p>don't switch, it's kinda dumb... your old school will send its transcript anyway
the new school might not even send have grades for you by then</p>
