[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't they say it's extremely difficult to transfer from one T10 to another T10?  I thought they took most transfers from community colleges and veterans?  [/quote]

Most T20 prefer lateral transfers (ie. from other national research universities, T20s, top LACs), with the exception of HYPS.[/quote]

"A transfer from one T10 to another is extremely unlikely to succeed. They all have a 98 percent or so retention rate, so there aren't many spots available. And they typically prioritize students who didn't get a chance for to apply as freshman - could be bright community college students, could be military, could be a lot of things. But the last thing a T10 university needs is yet another standard smart kid that brings nothing new to the college."

Which one is true?[/quote]

Many of the people in that thread weren't educated enough to speak, and it just turned into a troll session. In reality, most T20 prefer lateral transfers, as the PP noted. UC schools and state flagships are the most friendly to CC students, and HYPS transfers are solely veterans/feeder CC/Deep Springs.[/quote]
