I agree with everything 55Smash said. Excellent post.



Transfer students are in no way less intelligent or less qualified than freshman students. In fact, many of the transfer students i met were extremely intelligent. They just had to transfer because they had various personal problems that affected them throughout high school.



It depends on the reason that the student was at a junior college. Where I’m from (a very affluent neighborhood in the Bay Area) kids only go to junior college because they couldn’t go anywhere else. Nobody really has money or big personal issues to use as an excuse. Then I see them go off to UCs and struggle. Most recently, I have a friend at UCLA and he’s not even able to maintain a 3.0 GPA, despite that he got a 3.7 GPA in junior college (which is why he got into UCLA).
