<p>It can be done–I did it.</p>
<p>I was p/t one summer at a local CC and made 4.0, then transferred in the fall to a “regular” state school for one semester: 4.0 at mid-term. I knew my GPA was strong and I did not like the mediocre academics at the state school, so I applied to transfer to a flagship honors college (New College, Sarasota, Florida) in the winter semester. I had a transcript that showed ALL 4.0 work and a extremely unusual background. I was accepted.</p>
<p>If you decide to transfer, winter (2nd semester) is a good time to do so: many students drop out after fall semester and colleges like to fill those slots.</p>
