I'm thinking and wondering.

Many public institution - 4yrs that is - have an articulation agreement between junior colleges/community colleges - i am not a sure knowledge on this, but from my understanding. they say go to CC for 2 years, get the grades - then you can transfer up… And yes, sometimes transferring from a tier-4 school to a tier-1 is irrational b/c the student just may not be able to handle the work load or other factors. I think penn would accept a student from GT given they have a compelling reason - i mean they could have a 4.0 and give a b/s reason for wanting, like i have always wanted to attend penn, to transfer and be denied. A lot of things are taken into consideration when transferring aside from the strict grades -

I for instance am applying for transfer to - Tenn, Michigan, Notre dame and tulane - I am in at tenn, tulane, and Michigan - my school right now is Western Michigan - a good school but just not for me, i need more academic rigor - tulane and Tenn are just warmer climate schools and ND and Michigan are the top tier schools i want as far as academic rigor - i had no issues with Um just gave a concise reason for wanting to transfer - I also know of plenty of people that have transfered from top tier - ND, Stanford, UM, MSU to HY - really in this instance, have the grades, a compelling reason and you stand a chance at getting in -

in the modern world college admissions is a crap shoot - for frosh you seemingly need to save the whales or discover a new planet to get into HYPSM - and as a transfer you need show your ability to multitask the societal and academic realms to prove to the top schools you are their material
