I simply made the point that he did not have the academics to get into ND out of hs. That means he would need specific curriculum subjects to be able to transfer in. I don't know if his course load included those or not. That has nothing to do with whether he went to USC, MIT, Harvard, or some rinky dink state college.
Of course people can improve their standing by going to SC, but that has nothing to do with what I posted. Maybe he took the subjects necessary. If he did, then great. If not, then he's not transferring to ND.
