Just a hypothetical question. If you were applying as a transfer from a community college or a 4 year university, and you had a 4.0 GPA, would your 3.5ish high school GPA be detrimental to your transfer application?
Depends on the college you are transferring into, since many will not consider HS grades only your CC or 4 year Uni grades.
The Common Data Set published by the college will say what is considered for transfer admission (Section D).
