Certainly. More factors are different between a person applying as a freshman and then a transfer than applying as a freshman and reapplying the next year as a freshman, in general. It would make sense that they wouldn’t sieve out transfer students based on a previous decision, as they don’t do that for reapplying freshman. It’s especially sensical they wouldn’t do that sieve because so much could have changed. My analytical argument here is still somewhat weak, so I’m wondering if anyone here can back up the claim that “adcoms reject all transfer applicants that were rejected as freshman.”</p>
