I hope they have. A lot more people have gone to community college in recent years for financial reasons and seem to find that they aren’t so bad as conventional wisdom would have you to believe.

There’s definitely an awful lot of hyper-competitive people at Cal/UCLA and many of these people applied to Ivy leagues, Stanford, MIT, etc., so they may be the ones most inclined to be disdainful of transfers.

But hey, UC officials have gone on record saying that transfer students are just as good as their 4-year counterparts , according to the studies, and seem to be harder-working because of their unique life experiences. Each group has their set of strengths and weaknesses.
