<p>Being that I’m a first year transfer applicant, I’ve talked to quite a few people about whether that will be an advantage. It seems that most people agree that it will hurt me that I’m applying after one year, but I cannot understand why. Sure, having two years of application information shows clearer grade trends, but I’d think the initiative and larger workload of first year applicants would outweigh that.</p>
<p>What’s the general consensus of the College Confidential community? Do first year transfer’s have a more difficult time getting accepted?</p>
<p>i dont think they actually accept first year transfers. 60 units minimum requirements to transfer in… sorry bud</p>
<p>I believe he’s saying he already has 60 units, but only had to do 1 year of community college. </p>
<p>I.e he got exempted from enough CCC classes because of AP scores, and finished the rest during the 2 semesters.</p>
<p>why does it matter? ur apps are in, jus wait till april and ull know</p>
<p>It matters because if I get denied this year, I would at least know that being a first year transfer may have been what caused my rejection. If it makes no difference, and I get rejected to my first choice based solely on stats, I’m better off not wasting another year at CCC. </p>
<p>And vvyh is correct, including AP scores I will have 60 units by the end of the spring semester</p>
<p>If you get rejected “solely based on stats”, then you can probably spend a year improving your stats. I heard that if you have more units than they can transfer, colleges will discard your lowest grades first.</p>
