<p>In the transfer process do schools take into account what school you went to freshman year. Does a 3.5 at a top 25 school count more then a 3.5 at a cc. How much would this factor into the decision?</p>
<p>Yes, it does count. We've gone into this sensitive debate many times, but I reckon considering that you are a new member that you are fully aware of this. Anywho, If you apply as a transfer, then your transcript will be evaluated more. Although I believe that a physics course at a C.C. is much more challenging than say Art Appreciation at a University, considering that you attended a top 25 university, I'm sure that factor and your hardwork won't go unnoticed.</p>
<p>More is expected from CC students; this does not, however, imply that less is expected of students at a top 25 school.</p>
<p>Yea exactly what Kunfuzed said, depends on what classes you take more I think. Furthermore, do professors count? I mean, I go to a 4 yr school but not a good one, however, I've been taught by alumni from Harvard, UPenn, and Michigan, I have mentioned that, will that be considered or no?</p>

<p>I doubt they have the time to pay attention to what professors you have teaching you as well, and this information will probably never reach them. I'd say it's pointless to mention that you have teachers that went to HPM since many applicants to the schools you're interested in are coming from other top schools; i.e. they're being taught by great professors too. It's not going to make or break you and sounds more like filler than anything.</p>
<p>yea I guess you're right</p>
<p>actually...a lot of schools (especially top public universities) are paying EXTRA attention to Comm. college students because of all the new grants that they are being given to help low-income high achieving Comm. college students get bachelors degrees at prestigious universities</p>
<p>"low-income high achieving Comm. college students" = mexicans majoring in chicano studies?</p>
<p>lostincode...no</p>
<p>There are a lot of reasons people attend community colleges, and not being smart isn't always one of them. There are smart people everywhere. A lot of low income people are forced to community colleges, or were sick and needed to stay close to home, or any number of reasons. What you said is insulting. </p>
<p>I know some brilliant community college transfers here at Brown.</p>
