Hello! I have a few questions.
For some reason, the only high school graduation years I am able to select on my profile are the years 2022-2025. I graduated in 2021. Is there a way this year can be shown instead?
Also, I am planning on transferring to a school to earn a BA as soon as I am done with my AA degree that I am working on at a local junior college. Do the estimated calculations only apply to those who will be entering as freshmen, or does it also take transfer students into consideration?
Thanks for reaching out about this! For context, our guidance platform is aimed towards current high school students looking to get into college. It's not optimized for transfer students, but you can use graduation year 2022 for a close approximation of what you need. The chancing calculations will take into account your high school credentials and academic profile, and while you can certainly enter your current grades, please note that the platform is not configured to consider transfer students yet.
We do have a handful of great blog articles and livestream video recordings about the transfer process that you might find helpful:

I hope this helps clarify things! Please let me know if you have any questions on this.

@naomi-kuypers - After looking into it a bit more, there is actually a way you can set your graduation year to 2021. Go to: https://www.collegevine.com/onboarding/wizard/basic-info and select Transfer Student. Once you do that, you'll be given an option to select 2021. It's still true that the chancing and guidance isn't tailor to transfer students, but this will at least give you the correct graduation year!
