<p>HeartyBowl, it’s true that Stanford only admits a tiny number of transfer applicants, but it’s also the case that a significant proportion of those admitted were from cc’s. But the thing is, the admitted applicants almost always have special circumstances, such as the military service mentioned above, or other unusual/challenging aspects of their high school situation that puts their sub-par record in perspective. Students who just didn’t get it together in high school, but then later do better in cc, don’t tend to be admitted here. Sorry.</p>
