<p>Does emory have agreements with community colleges like Cornell USC and other schools do? Its transfer rate seems somewhat high</p>
<p>Keep in mind that Cornell and USC both have very specific reasons for transfer agreements.</p>
<p>In most states, lower-achieving students tend to go to community college. I’m not saying this is always the case - sometimes amazing students go for financial reasons. However, in CA, you’ve got huuuge amounts of people going to community college. Transfer agreements are simply more important there.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, both Cornell’s Agriculture and Industrial-Labor Relations schools are funded by the state. It’s because they’re funded by SUNY that they have transfer agreements written up - and in the case of the Ag school, with other SUNYs specifically.</p>
