The ones that aren’t (e.g. Harvard) are typically that way because of institutional elitism and a culture among faculty and students that it’s unfair for a student to have 2 years of grades from a ‘lesser’ school, community college or otherwise, and graduate with the same degree as everyone else.



That doesn’t account for programs like Ys Eli Whitney and Columbia GS, in which NT students study and earn the same degree as those in the main college.



There’s so much that can affect your application more than that, so it’s best to concentrate on those aspects of your application when weighing your options–rather than a school’s perceived receptiveness to whatever school you’re coming from.



While the track record of who a college accepts should not be the ONLY factor considered in making a college list, it is A factor that should be considered in order to have a realistic evaluation of safety/match/reach schools.
