<p>Do people who attempt to transfer to top private schools such as Notre Dame, Cornell, Columbia, etc. have a better chance if they go to a four-year university as opposed to a junior college? I am asking because I attend a community college right now, and I see tons of people applying as a transfer from four-years, so I wonder if I'm automatically at some sort of disadvantage. Additionally, my high school stats are pretty much garbage lol.</p>
