Georgia Tech does this. They do it in an attempt to expand enrollment which is an institutional goal limited by class space and dorms. If they can get you to take the high demand first year classes everyone must take somewhere else and they don’t have to find you a place on campus to live it allows them to expand the sophomore class every year. They are very strict about the qualifications. Every year there are kids who find out a class they took doesn’t transfer or they got a 3.29 GPA instead of the 3.3 required etc. and they are denied.
