Would I lose credits or grade value transfering from IVY Tech (2 year community college) to Purdue?

I am heart-set on wanting to go to Purdue University here in Indiana (i’m an in-stater) and I was told while I was up there to AVOID Ivy Tech community college because if I took courses at Ivy Tech that can transfer over to Purdue, snobbishly, because they are a 4 year state college and IVY Tech is a 2 year community, Purdue has the power to cut both/either the credits you earn and/or the grade value. Like for example, I want to pursue undergraduate Cell Biology at Purdue (I’m also a junior in high school), but these are two biology classes that are offered at IVY Tech that could transfer to Purdue. I don’t understand the undistributation here with the XXXX.
Ivy Tech Community College-IN BIOL 105 † Biology I Molec/Cell Processes 5---->BIOL 1XXXX Biology I 5
Ivy Tech Community College-IN BIOL 107 † Biology II Diversity Of Life 5 ----------->BIOL 1XXXX Biology II 5

Here is a physics course that is optional to take (selective for Purdue, general edu. for IVY Tech) that looks to be able to transfer full credit.
Ivy Tech Community College-IN PHYS 101 Physics I 4–>Purdue PHYS 21800 General Physics 4
------------------------------------------------------------------>Purdue PHYS 22000 Gen Physics 4

I feel I could take the course cheaper at IVY Tech and transfer the credits (and grades) I earn over to Purdue to add to my degree there, but does Purdue have the power to say"well we are a 4 year college; IVY Tech is a 2 year, so there education ‘rigor’ is not as strong as us, so we are going to (either) give you only 2 or 3 credits for this course and/(or), even though you got an A in the class, we will drop it down to a B. You don’t like it? Deal with it because you should have known we would have expected more from you in High School." or “We knew you might try to go to IVY Tech to save you some cash, so we won’t even accept you!” or whatever the cause. I just feel like if I can save some $$$$ taking classes cheaper at IVY Tech and NOT be dis-credited or be given a lesser grade value compared to Purdue, then why not, right? Also, How does the undistributed credit deal work out and does Purdue not even accept that many transfers from IVY Tech because they see students there trying to outsmart the “BIG SCIENCE” college of Indy?

I assume that you are looking in

If I look up Ivy Tech BIOL courses, it says that:

Ivy Tech BIOL 121 = Purdue BIOL 11000
Ivy Tech BIOL 122 = Purdue BIOL 11100

For Ivy Tech BIOL 105 and 107, neither is equivalent by itself to any Purdue course. But the “Course Grouping Results” at the bottom says that both together are equivalent to Purdue BIOL 11000 and 11100. This presumably means that they cover the same topics as the Purdue courses, but distributed differently between the two courses so that neither is an exact match for any of the Purdue courses.

So if you want transfer credit for Purdue BIOL 11000 and 11100, you can take either BIOL 105 and 107 or BIOL 121 and 122 at Ivy Tech. But if you want to take just one course for equivalency to one of these Purdue courses, it needs to be BIOL 121 or 122.

Most colleges only report GPA based on courses you take there, not from transfer credit. However, graduate and professional schools will look at all courses and grades from all colleges.
