I'm not.

It's not tuition free, it has "fees" that replace tuition, and its accreditation is worthless, and the school goes to great lengths not to make that clear to its applicants.

And your "UC Berkeley" statement says "will consider", not will admit and not will transfer. It's very very mealy mouthed in terms of whether anyone actually gets in.

You're the one with the incentive to spread misinformation, and that's exactly what you're doing.

What would my incentive be? I've got multiple actual accredited degrees I'm working on another. What does explaining what this school is actually doing benefit me in any way? "National accreditation" is essentially worthless. This is known in the academic community, it is less well known to the people institutions like this prey on. I personally know people who have been taken by these institutions and I don't like to see it happen to people.

All I'm doing is telling people the misinformation you're feeding them.
