<p>Hm, I see. Sorry for being that guy – i.e., “the reason.” </p>
<p>I appreciate the response and all of the time, effort, and thought you’ve put into demystifying the whole transfer process – I saw your thread about transfer admission rates at top universities. Enlightening, both the figures and the analysis. Do you know how many of the top 25 schools aren’t need-blind in their transfer processes? </p>
<p>Additionally, why do you think schools emphasize prestige over college performance in the transfer process? For advertising purposes? What’s attractive about an applicant that has ostensibly peaked in high school? I’m not being facetious – I’d like to hear your thoughts. Like I said before, you seem to have thought about this at length, and I’m interested in hearing any more reflections that you might have.</p>
