<p>HSN, I can see where my switching between numbers and %s was confusing. What I meant was that there were 2 kids accepted as transfers into the Theater Department at NU last school year out of 100 incoming students into the department. 2 kids out of 100 is 2% of the incoming number of kids into the department/major. That 2% was for last year only. That does not mean they accept 2% of their incoming class as transfer students each year. As it was explained to us, it is extremely difficult to transfer into the department, so, I would assume that it is possible that some years they accept 0 transfer students. I would truly recommend that anyone interested in transfering into the theatre major at NU contact NU's theatre department and discusss it with THEM. I do not work for them, nor are my children enrolled at the school, so I certainly am not speaking with any university authority.</p>
<p>Edited to add: HSN, after rereading your question, I also want to clarify that I am speaking ONLY about the Theater major, no other departments. I do not know anything about other transfers into NU. Your best bet is to talk to admissions at the school. Best of Luck to you!</p>
