But won't you again lose a lot of credits, transferring after your junior year?

You may not have as great of a chance if you are a junior and you tell people you'll only be at school for a year because you will be transferring. But give it a try.

Not necessarily... Don't "hope." Figure out how much more time and money you'll be spending by transferring than by staying put. I know that has nothing to do with your original question, but do the homework before you make the leap. Otherwise, you'll be paying for it (literally) for years to come.

A lot of the major schools (especially state schools like university ofs etc) have transfer equivalency charts. Or talk to the registrar. Or the admissions office of the potential new school. There are quite a few options to see how things transfer.

I wouldn't consider transferring for your senior year to be a good idea. Most schools require you to take a certain number of upper class credits (300 or 400 level courses) at that particular school even if they are willing to accept most of your current credits. If you are going to have the school's name on your diploma, the school will want a certain percentage of your total coursework to be completed there. Be sure that you investigate this thoroughly before you make the leap. It could end up being very costly and time consuming for you.

I wouldn't necessarily agree- unless you've transferred, and then you'd know what it's like. I transferred halfway through my junior year. I had 78 credits, and they allowed for the transfer to take place as long as I had under 80 credits. That being said, they definitely didn't all transfer. I had to go an extra semester, plus take summer courses my first year at the new school. In the end, it was worth it, but there's still a lot to consider.
