Check out this link, you’ll see admission preference also applies to transfer students.

If this were not true, It would make no sense for me, a psych major with a 3.06 on my application to supercede another psych major with a 3.75 gpa. If it were not for my high schools agreement otherwise known as the long beach college promise, I would have not gotten in.
