Yes, they don’t want you to accrue excess credits. The admit rate is so tiny–Harvard maybe 30 and most came from other top schools,don’t know the other offhand but no one takes many except Cornell and above they say no aid. When Penn takes one from CC I always read it is from a PA CC. What in the world will you be able to do to impress? You can’t just be an ordinary good grade student. Stanford favors CA CCs but they only took 20 transfers last year. Prob only a couple from CC. Some of the transfers have extraordinary accomplishments or academic goals that couldn’t be met elsewhere.Unrealistic all around.
