<p>I realize they have a fairly low transfer acceptance rate %, but which is easier for transfers to get accepted to, amherst or swarthmore? and what is the likelihood of admission for someone applying from uc berkeley? thank you.</p>
<p>Transfer admission % differ from year to year, so I think it's safe to say they are so comparable in transfer admissions it's impossible to say one will necessarily be easier than the other from year to year. As far as your chances, being from a highly-ranked school let's them know you're doing real course material. But what really counts is a high GPA and strong application. Get to know some teachers who can write you good recs.</p>
