<p>I have no idea. 3.7? No clue. I don't think many transfers are accepted...</p>

<p>I hear transfer admissions is nearly impossible; less than 20 kids were accepted last year. This is totally a guess, but unless your transferring from YPSMC, you don't have a great chance. Again, I know nothing about transfer admission.</p>

<p>they admit 2-300 transfers a year. keep telling people they don't though and narrow down those apps!</p>

<p>The number I was told is 79 out of 1,000 applicants, including Spring transfers.</p>

<p>Here is a helpful thread: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=122319%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=122319&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>
