<p>@Noleguy33 I believe what Canibaro was trying to convey is that you have to be extremely impressive to transfer to Stanford. You mentioned that the guy from the interview had bad grades in high school, but you failed to mention that he transfered over four years after he graduated from high school. You also failed to mention that he served 2 tours in Iraq, has a purple heart, and was a member of the most elite Marine Corps unit. His high school grades mattered less because of all of this. Stanford accepted 25 transfer applicants last year. How many applicants do you think had an SAT score of 2000+? Now how many do you think had a purple heart?</p>
