CV for undergrad transfer students

[barroccista]

Hello all!

I am preparing my CV for applications to PhD programs and looking for guidance regarding the education section.  I just graduated from a top private university, but transferred in after spending my freshman year at a public university.  Is it required to write down all previous instutions that I attended on my CV?  Or can I leave this information out as they will see this reflected in my transcripts?

Thanks so much in advance!

I was a transfer student as well, and I think the general consensus is that it's fine to just include the school you graduated from on a resume/CV. As you mentioned, you'll be submitting transcripts anyway, so it's not like you're withholding any info.

Yes, this. It would be deviating from the norm to put a school you transferred from on your CV, so there's not a good reason to do it unless you really wanted to mention it because you'd been awarded some prestigious honor there or something.
