Transferring out of a JC?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi, I'm looking to transfer to a few schools (USC, UCLA, NYU, etc.) in hopes of getting accepted into a well-renowned film program. I've been doing very well GPA wise at the junior college I'm currently attending, but kind of flubbed it a bit in high school, as well as on the SATs. </p>

<p>What I was wondering was what do admission reps. look for when considering transfer students? Essay/GPA/relevant experience of course, but what about high school GPA/SAT scores? Will my high school experience consequently affect whether or not I'm accepted even if, hypothetically, I have a 4.0 GPA on 60+ credits from a junior college? Any information would help, thank you!</p>

<p>the further into college you apply, the less weight is put on hs. if you apply as a soph transfer, after a year in college, they will see only your 1st semester/midterm grades so more weight will be put on HS. If, as you said, you apply after 60 credits…they will ask for your HS transcript but look mostly at college.</p>

<p>And for the UCs, things are a little different. So wrt UCLA or any other UCs, post your qx on the UC Transfer subforum. Lots of knowledgeable folks there.</p>
