ADVICE NEEDED (PLEASE)

Hey guys,

Here's the deal (and I know this has been posted around this site in a variety of ways, so PLEASE do not link another thread). I go to a great school but it is a very big non-target. I want to break into IB and want to transfer.

At the moment I am a rising junior (I will be starting junior year this upcoming September). I AM WILLING TO DELAY GRADUATION BY ANOTHER YEAR. I'll say it again. I AM WILLING TO DELAY GRADUATING BY ANOTHER YEAR!

  1. Am I therefore able to transfer and get into a new school either in the spring of 2021 or fall of 2021?

  2. On my transfer applications, would I list my graduation date (if they ask for one - no idea) as May of 2022 (the date I'm supposed to graduate) or May of 2023 (the date I would graduate if I stay an extra year in a new school?

Just want straight answers to these two questions, nothing more, please. Stats are 3.72 GPA and a 1450 SAT score if that provides any sort of insight.

Thanks.
