Best Schools with Best Transfer Rates?

<p>Swat has simplified their transfer application -I bet that means they'll be more selective this year.</p>

<p>I assume Northwestern University, forgive me if I'm wrong.
Northwestern 34%</p>

<p>I am really surprised that NU has such a high transfer acceptance rate. How could this be, this year, they claim they took like 100 out of 600 who applied, something sounds fishy.</p>

<pre><code>* Total number of transfer students who applied: 615

<p>Wash U is mad high too.</p>

<p>anyone know Wisconsin-madison or UIUC for outa state?</p>

<p>amherst, bates, bowdoin, colby, trinity? thanks a lot!</p>

<p>wis-mad 48%
UIUC 49%
Amherst 18%
Bates 14%
Bowdoin 14%
Colby 21%
Trinity 29%</p>

<p>No way UIUC is that high.... no way. I applied there and to University of Michigan as a junior transfer and was rejected at illinois but accepted at michigan. Some of my friends with high stats as well were rejected from illinois as transfers.</p>

<p>I had this gut feeling that their transfer rate was really low. :( Oh well.</p>

<p>I wonder though, if some of the ones with really low transfer rates receive more unqualified applicants... (perhaps just wishful thinking) I know Carleton was lower than usual last year -had there college guidebook ratings gone up or something? Maybe they just had very, very few open spaces...</p>

<p>UMRunner, I copied what usnews says. And 49% acceptance still means more than half are rejected.</p>

<p>49% acceptance is pretty high derekc.. that means 1/2 the people who applied were bu<em>l</em>****ing themselves to begin with..</p>

<p>bball87,</p>

<p>The rate may change a lot from one year to the next. Northwestern probably decided to accept fewer this year because the 2008 freshmen class was pretty full.</p>

<p>well it's a huge public university. Lots of kids failing, transferring out, and it's a lot of kids's safety school for a transfer. I am guessing (but could check) the transfer yield is rather low.</p>

<p>hey are those numbers for instate or outastate, or does that not really matter when transfering and only for freshman admin?</p>

<p>Can you get Wesleyan's transfer rate?</p>

<p>what are johns hopkins' and carnegie mellon's transfer rates?</p>

<p>Wesleyan 35%
Johns Hopkins 16%
Carnegie Mellon 14%</p>

<p>UIUC is competitive for certain departments, such as Engineering, but for others, like LAS, it's not as hard to get into as long as you meet the requirements.</p>
