I tend to think it's simply the fact that they give up some tuition =
money
whenever they allow students to transfer credits from another school.

There are often a number of issues involved with transferring credits - =
what
the curriculum is for that particular class at each school is a big one, =
and
includes looking at the curriculum *at the time the class is taken* vs. =
the
curriculum at the school you mean to attend *at the time you will =
attend*.
When I've looked into transferring credits in the past, I was told that =
the
transcripts would have to be evaluated on a case by case basis and they
wouldn't be able to give me any guarantees, but that in general, credits
from School X for classes A, B, and C will transfer, and classes E and F =
may
not, depending on when they were taken, etc.

My experience is that the more exclusive the school, or the better =
regarded
for the program, the more likely it is that only part of your credits =
may
transfer, and that they may require you to take a placement test instead =
of
directly transferring the credits. Remember, they're protecting their
reputation for turning out well-educated graduates. Your mileage may =
vary,
of course. =20
