Hi, I am an international student from other country.
I am currently in US high school as a senior and considering to transfer to good university.(thinking about UT Austin, Texas A&M, UCSD)
I have received fine sat scores and toefl scores but I don’t think I can go to nationally ranked college because my HS gpa is really terrible…(sat and toefl score are good enough for top 50 colleges, such as PSU)
So there are two options left for me - transferring from 4years college(low ranked) vs transferring from cc.
Which choice is better to transfer to the colleges above? gpa from 4 years college is better than gpa from cc? and does the HS gpa matter when I transfer after getting 30 credits ?
I have heard that transferring from 4 years is much harder than from cc but going to 4years school is more favorable financially for personal reason. That is why I’m considering 4 years college before I transfer.
Could you guys please give me some advice for me?
