4-year students' attitudes towards transfer students

I don’t understand how transfer students are less deserving. I know for my major transfer admissions are more selective than freshman.

I originally went to CC because I didn’t have anyone to guide me in the application process. I left home my junior year and at 16 had a full time job to pay my rent. I only graduated because my friends parents stayed on top of
me to see it through. I didn’t have parents guiding me or helping me find where to apply, what major I wanted, etc. so I enrolled at CC while in high school so I could earn credits for both and work more. I had plenty of hiccups along the way, dropping school entirely on two occasions to work 2 jobs instead.

Once I graduate from university I will already have >10 years in the work force. It’s not major related, but at least I have demonstrated my ability to do work. And I’ll have the same degree as the self-righteous freshman admit who thinks I didn’t deserve to get in.

So I’ll take that job right there. And let them pay their student loans with their smug sense of self worth and see how far they get.
