<p>For transfer applicants of course</p>
<p>If not, do community college applicants with the same specs as those not from community colleges seem more favorable? Or is it better to transfer from a better university (say a state college).</p>
<p>And by “universities” I mean the higher end ones.</p>
<p>State universities often have specific plans to accept large numbers of junior transfers from community colleges. These plans include pre-made course articulation so that community college students know what to take to prepare for the upper division courses at the state universities. They may also include guaranteed admission if the community college student completes the needed prerequisites meeting a GPA target. Policies do vary by state.</p>
<p>Private universities can do whatever they want; many of them are not very transfer-friendly at all.</p>
<p>Merit scholarships tend to be less common for transfer students; private universities may also be stingier with need-based financial aid for transfer students.</p>
<p>I thought private universities want more diversity, thus favoring community college transfers? Or at least that unorthodox educational path might interest them?</p>
