[quote=Anonymous]Never mind the school - what are mediocre grades?  
I think this is the important question.  I transferred from one top 10 school to another in the 1990s with a 3.2 GPA or so although no Cs.

Most schools recognize that kids’ grades first semester aren’t always what they will be. College is a huge adjustment. For example, many give pass fail or pass/no record grades for that reason.

I think the other important variable is whether you are full pay. One detail about transferring is that colleges love transfers for full pay students as the record of students doesn’t show up for us news rankings.  If you are not full pay unfortunately that is a huge disadvantage.

Hope that helps and good luck to your daughter. It is hard but it can be a great solution. After transferring I was really happy and successful and am now your typical annoying upper middle class DCUMer.  Ok probably you are hoping for better but I am guessing your daughter is way more awesome than I could ever be. [/quote]
