<p>Actually, I wouldn’t follow that advice. Community college transfers have a reason to transfer. They only have a 2 year school and need a place that will allow them to keep pursuing their studies. Many community colleges have set up agreements with the in-state public schools. There are scholarships for members of Phi Theta Kappa at nearly every institution, something that only community college students can get. The vast majority of people who attend community colleges do so for financial reasons. When they go back and apply to universities, schools see them as people who have grown from high school and most schools would rather take community college transfers in order to build community relations. Let’s use Durham Tech and UNC as an example. When UNC admits many students from Durham Tech, it brings up the image of the university in the area, and encourages more people to apply. More students who attend the community college talk about the university more, they see their friends getting in, and that makes Carolina look good. They would rather admit a 3.0 from Durham Tech (they have a transfer agreement - they would have to admit them) than a 3.5 from UConn.</p>
