[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand the people who say she can always transfer, but is that really true? It's been shown that kids at community college are told they can transfer but it rarely ever happens. This is different of course but would it still be possible?
Will she be able to get into the Colgate/Lehigh level college from ES?

I am just starting this journey with my high school junior but I went to Colgate and I never heard of anyone transferring in from another school that was not about the same level of rigor.

I don't know if this ever works but could she start at the best of the schools she got into and try and get money later at another school? Do transfers get money? 
It's a gamble but turning down admission to those schools right now with so few kids getting in seems really tough.

My kid could not handle Colgate (I remember how tough it was) so I'm now trying to find less competitive schools that still have a decent name that don't overwhelm a smart kid with terrible ADHD. If he could handle Colgate/Lehigh, I'd be over the moon![/quote]

The community college transfer programs are often actual entitlements to transfer to a public university (sometimes the state flagship) if the student gets a certain number of credits/grades. I know several people who did this to get into Berkeley. The reason the numbers are low is because most community college students are in fact not traditional college students and don’t have the resources, ability or interest in doing the work it takes to transfer.
