<p>CCG talked to friends of mine both in the transfer class and those running the transfer orientation this year. they could have been wrong. it is very possible.</p>
<p>I've spoken to people at the Penn admissions office, and they told me the transfer acceptance rates are actually very similar to the freshman acceptance rates. If this doesn't seem sensible, remember that the applicant pool is far, FAR more competitive. It includes many previous waitlists and almost-made-it students.</p>
<p>The figures he gave me were: roughly 16% for CAS and 12% for Wharton</p>
<p>Does anyone have the Wharton figures for those who AREN'T internal transfers? I remember someone telling me that most of Wharton's admits are from within UPENN.</p>
<p>USC 34,000 was out of HS, it was on my friends rejection letter. They admit as many hs students as they do transfers, just around 2.5k per year (it's dropped recently) but the 7.6% is hs acceptance rate. transfer rate was around 13% last time I checked. I want to transfer there, they said 3.7 is competitive.</p>

<p>The acceptance rate is not 7.6%. You are getting acceptance rate and spots divided by applicants mixed up. They accept more students than they have spots because they know people will decline.</p>
<p>*Note: Vanderbilt is changing their transfer admissions policy for next year, so I wouldn't count on another year of a +50% transfer acceptance rate.</p>
<p>Does anyone happen to know NYU's actual transfer acceptance rate? I looked up their common set, and I think that was much lower than it actually is.</p>
<p>for cornell's transfer, what % of CALS are GT? They emailed me saying they do not have that information but they were a very friendly transfer school 1/3 students are transfer :O</p>
