My son is considering transferring from WV to UGa or U of Fla, but he could graduate next year at WV with a good GPA.  He wants to go to grad school and thinks it would be easier to get in the aforementioned colleges if he graduated from them.  Is this sound reasoning?  He would obviously lose credit hours in that the max transfer credit rules apply to either school.  He has not taken the GRE's yet, so my advice was that this would also be a determining factor in acceptance to any grad school, regardless of where you went as an undergraduate.

Could someone give me any advice on the merits or drawbacks of a transfer of a rising senior?  Major at present is Multidiciplinary studies (BA) with the multidiciplines being English, History, and Media Studies.

Thanks in advance for any direction/guidance/general rules.
