<p>Ok so I am about to complete my 3 year of college at a unranked university commuter college. I have the option of transferring out to American University in DC. They will accept 75 of my credits, and I will have to complete 45 credits their to graduate. I have 90 credits. I am majoring in political science and have a 3.3 gpa. Is it worth it to transfer to American? Will high ranking grad schools look down at the transfer? How will law school look at the transfer, will it be seen as a bad thing? Also to add to this a main reason I want to transfer is because of the social aspects of living in DC, so if you can tie that into this that would be great. I also want to attend an IVY League grad program so Is American well respected by the Ivy LEAGUE?</p>
<p>Just the fact that they are accepting 75 units sounds enticing to me. It was my understanding that a person cannot transfer with more than 70. </p>
<p>As for the transfer, I don’t think its terrible. Academics are more important than anything else.</p>
<p>Sounds like a nice opportunity…I would go for it.</p>
