<p>how much competition is between transfer pool ? do they look at high school grades and SAT's as well while transfering? which college in duke is comparatively easier to get in?</p>
<p>Duke is very competitive for transferring, but not impossible. They accept a smaller percentage of transfer applicants than regular applicants. If you are transferring after one year, I assume they'll take your high school information into greater consideration than if you're transferring after two. Here are stats for transfers and graduation rates to consider:</p>
<p>School /Transfr % /Reg % /Freshman Retention/4-year graduation
Harvard 6% (10%) 97/98
Yale 4% (10%) 98/96
UPenn 21% (21%) 97/92
Duke 17% (22%) 97/92
MIT 2% (16%) 98/92
Stanford 8% (13%) 98/94
Caltech 14% (17%) 96/89
Columbia 9% (11%) 98/92
Dartmouth 12% (18%) 96/95
Northwestern 30% (33%) 96/93
Washington U. 36% (20%) 96/89
Brown 26% (16%) 97/96
Cornell 34% (31%) 96/92
Johns Hopkins 13% (30%) 95/88
U. Chicago 23% (40%) 95/87
Rice U. 22% (24%) 96/90
Notre Dame 36% (29%) 98/95
Vanderbilt 22% (40%) 94/83
Emory 43% (43%) 94/88</p>

The reason there isn't data on Princeton is because they traditionally do not have transfer admission. (and do you mean <10% instead of >10%?)
That's interesting data though.</p>
<p>haha yes, sorry about the ></p>
