<p>So the general consensus is that difficulty and rank of the school you're transferring from makes no difference in the applications. I go to one of the Seven Sisters and it practices grade deflation. With this in mind, I am wondering if it is better for me to stay in the current college I attend or go to a community college and transfer from there? I don't want to lose the rank and prestige of my current school. At the same time, however, I cannot stand it here, especially considering they don't have the major I want.
My big concern with a community college is that A. I will be lucky if I come back alive after making such a proposal to my parents and B. After going to private school for so long, I will be incredibly bored there. I've been bored by classes before, and it was so annoying! However, nobody will believe me when I say I can do challenging work because I have been bogged down by health and/or malfunctioning equipment problems.
Any advice? Do I stick it out until the end of my sophomore year or do I go the CC route until the end of sophomore year?</p>
<p>
Huh? Not a general consensus that I am aware of.</p>
<p>I would not agree with that at all. </p>
<p>I would certainly not recommend moving to a cc. IMO, that would give the appearance that you could not handle your current school, raising qx in a transfer school’s mind as to whether you could handle their work.</p>
<p>Unless you want to transfer to a state school that has an articulation agreement with the CC, stick it out. It absolutely does matter where you’re transferring from.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. <em>Phew</em> That’s extremely good to know. I’ve seen that statement in so many other threads here, and it began to really scare me.</p>
