Transfer student - should I list old school on my resume and LinkedIn?

Hey guys,

I've recently been lucky enough to be accepted for transfer from a state school to a T10 university. I'll be entering as a sophomore so I'll have a GPA at my new school by the time recruiting rolls around, but should I still list my old school on my resume and LinkedIn?

Obviously it looks better and makes my resume/LinkedIn faster to read if I don't list my old school, but I just don't wanna be doing anything unethical since technically I'll only be attending there for three years instead of four. Do prestige/pedigree-obsessed finance recruiters/employers make a big deal out of this? Anyone else that transferred have any input?

Thanks in advance
