<p>…that one is switching from one college to another? I feel like I am coming across posts about those who are applying out of high school quite frequently.</p>
<p>Yes, in most cases that’s what it implies. It could also refer to someone who has matriculated at another university, hasn’t attended in some time, and is now applying for admission to an entirely separate university.</p>
<p>Those posts you see with high school stats are more relevant for some situations than others. For example, if you’re transferring to a new school right after freshman year, your high school stats mean more than they would’ve if you transfer as a junior.</p>
