<p>Paul, I hope you realize most spring transfers only add about “25-35 students” (pg. 34, footnote #1, fact book 2008-2009), a insignificant pool compared to the fall transfers. But for argument’s sake, I’ll indulge you and add them in.</p>
<p>First, let’s look at the year 2009.
Transfer Class of Fall 2009
Admission Statistics
- Total applications 1542
- Total acceptances 329 (acceptance rate “21%”)
- Total enrolled 146 (yield “44%”) </p>
<p>Spring of 2009:
*Total applications 277
*Total acceptances 114 (acceptance rate “41%”)
*Total enrolled 78 (yield “68%”) </p>
<p>Total for 2009:
*Total applications: 1819
*Total acceptances: 443 (acceptance rate “24.35%”)
*Total enrolled: 224 (yield "50.56%)</p>
<p>Forgive me if I’m not surprised that even with the combined spring 2009 semester, which enrolled 3-4 TIMES more students than the average spring semester, the admission rate for the year is still only 24.35%, far short of the 30% average for the regular pool. For all intended purpose, the spring semesters enroll too few students to significantly affect the overall average of the entire year.</p>
