<p>I am currently a sophomore economics/math major. I am considering transferring next year to a better university that I have already been accepted to. I am not particularly happy with the university i am currently attending but my GPA is really strong. My concern is that since I will be a junior I will be taking all upper level courses, and I will lose my high GPA from my previous school. So when I am applying to grad schools here in a few years will it hurt me because my GPA wont be quite as high since it will only be the averages of the upper level courses of the university I am transferring to?</p>
<p>Michael, </p>
<p>I am in a similar situation as you, but am a sophomore transfer applicant. Currently, I have a 3.6 at Sewanee: U of the South, but desparately wish to transfer out to either Vanderbilt or Georgetown University. Even though I wish to attend law school and pragmatically have the best chance of acceptance to a Top School with a 3.6+ GPA from my current school, I am willing to sacrifice a bit of my GPA to be happy for 3 years of college and to be challenged. </p>
<p>I wish you the best of luck in your transfer process should you decide to pursue that path</p>
<p>graduate school requires all college transcripts.</p>
<p>so makebank you are saying that it will not be a problem for me when applying to graduate school?</p>
<p>It won’t post a problem to you unless you keep dwindling down your GPA. Which ever graduate school you will apply to will require all your transcripts from past college(s) attended.</p>
