This is the second brief of three summarizing results from the longitudinal analysis of the Transfer Opportunity Project (TOP). TOP, funded by a grant from the Institute for Education Sciences (IES), explores the possible factors contributing to the low percentage of community college students who go on to earn bachelor's degrees. The project uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative research at the City University of New York (CUNY) to identify possible malleable factors related to four possible critical challenges in the transfer student pathway: Application to Transfer, Transfer Melt, Credit Transfer, and Transfer Shock. The longitudinal analysis tracks students who entered a CUNY community college in Fall 2013 and quantifies how many students progressed or did not progress towards earning a bachelor's degree at each of these points
