<p>I thought everyone should know that Wake Forest University doesn't accept any credit from a two yr Community College. However, you can still be admitted, but you have to start as a freshman all over again. My advice don't apply to WF.</p>

<p>David, I am sorry that you are in that situation. Is this for any jr college or do the credits have to be pre vetted and meet certain standards? This surprises me because I know many top unis that regularly accept credits for comm colleges. Not all classes; they have to dovetail with courses offered at the new school, but I don't know too many schools that will out and out decline all comm college courses.</p>
<p>That's not precisely true. To my knowledge, the rule is that they will not accept community college credit for courses taken after matriculation. That was certainly the rule when I was there because I received credit for a community college course that I took the summer between high school graduation and my first year of college (for the record, I graduated from WFU in May). If there's been a change in the policy, it's not reflected on the registrar's website (WFU</a> | Registrar's Office) which lists departments that wont accept junior college credit, which is the policy that I remember.</p>
<p>Like I said, the policy I remember is that it's on a case-by-case basis and it's up to the department rather than the registrar. It's not easy to get credit for a community college course, but to my knowledge it's still possible.</p>

<p>Really strict!</p>
<p>Yes, and guess what my d took at the community college while in h.s. - physics, anthropology and psychology!! However, when we visited she loved Wake by far the best of the schools she was admitted to, and for reasons that she felt strongly about. She decided to enroll anyway. Funny thing is, she is taking roughly the same anthro class as she did at the community college and is really appreciating the fact that it is pretty much review so far - lets her concentrate more on her other classes this first semester.</p>
