Answer 1

A lot also don’t check *any* high school records to get in, meaning that some people who haven’t bothered to finish high school or even get a GED can just sign up and *say* they finished high school, and bam, you’re in college.

Then you use those 2 years to transfer to a university because universities only care about your CC record at that point.

Not like I’d know from experience or anything…
