<p>rahimahs,</p>

<p>Yale doesn't take 45 transfer students per year, it's own website states:</p>

<p>"In recent years between 800 and 900 students have applied, and 25 to 35, sometimes fewer, have been offered admission in any year."</p>

<p>The yield for Yale transfers is likely very very high. If I recall correctly, there was a transfer waitlist of only 4 students. We have some transfer Yale acceptances on this board, maybe they can shed some light on this.</p>

<p>Yale would accept very close to 30 students out of "over 700" - let's call that 750 = 4%.</p>

<p>(And why are people who don't accept an offer of admission "silly"?)</p>

<p>jeydomz, here is part of my rejection letter from FALL 08:</p>

<p>"This year we had close to 750 applicants and accepted
fewer than 30". </p>

<p>So if yale admitted only 30 students, some of them may decide not to come and some spaces would be vacant. So a college always admits more applicants than it has spots form as I am sure you are aware of. So to be on the safe side, i guessed they would have admitted like 45, although only the admission office knows the real number</p>

24

<p>I doubt that. Sincerely. No way Y needs to admit 15 over capacity to achieve 30. </p>

<p>S took 23 last year and got 20. This year they accepted 20 and got 18*? </p>

<p>Y's yield is probably just as high.</p>

<p>what were the acceptance rates for Rice and Northwestern?</p>

29

<p>anyone know the rates for Umich?</p>

30

<p>i only see the stats for class of 2012...not transfers
for USC it's 2600/34000</p>

31

<p>OMG, 7.6% for USC? I'm so worried now... I guess I will just have to work super hard.</p>

32

<p>Harvard - 0% - None accepted this year
Princeton - No transfer applicants accepted</p>

33

<p>I think the NYU one was just for CAS or Stern. It's impossible that was 10% as a whole.</p>

34

<p>any data for Penn, specifically Wharton?</p>

35

<p>^^^Please note, the above statistics include those that were given Guaranteed Transfer status in Freshman admissions. Schools that use the GT status often are the CALS, ILR, HE, the Hotel School, as well as CAS (but to a limited extent I believe).</p>

37

<p>Thank u Jeydomz for ur note!!</p>

38

<p>Anyone know what it is for Brown?</p>

39

<p>Brown: 90 Accepted / 1,004 Applied (8.96%)</p>

<p>Note: Those numbers are for Fall 2007. Brown accepts Spring Transfers as well; I'm not sure what those numbers are or if those applicants/acceptances are included here.</p>
