Duke University Transfer.

Transfer Students
1

<p>I got some questions about Duke University transfer admissions.</p>

<li><p>Do they consider what kind of college or university you go to? For example, I plan to go to a community college for one year and I want to go to Duke. Reason I am going to community college is for money issues with my family.</p></li>
<li><p>What are the statistics of Duke’s transfer acceptance? Like what is the average GPA, ACT/SAT score, and etc.</p></li>
<li><p>What can I do to increase my chances to be an accepting student at Duke University?</p></li>
<li><p>Do they have a interview for transfer admission? If so should I take the opportunity to take it and explain everything to them about my choice of community college?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I think that is all the question I have. Thank you.</p>

<p>Oh by the way, if it helps I’m going to post my High school transcript.
I graduated in the the 10% of my high school. I did Varsity sports throughout my HS years. I played soccer and tennis. I was in various clubs such as NESBE, N2HIM, National Honor Society, MESA, Math club, Environmental, and Student sharing coalition. I also did many AP classes during my senior year. I completed 5 A.P. classes in my Senior year and 6 A.p. Classes by the time I graduated.</p>

<p>So please give me any ideas of how to increase my chances to Duke University! Thank you!</p>

<p>Duke accepts like 15-maybe 20 transfers a year...with them having probably 500-1000 apps its not good.</p>

3

<p>Jman21, collegeboard lists duke as having accepted 40 out of 590 applicants. Not quite as grim at what you stated (yale like odds...well actually, 15 out of 1000 is much worse than yale who took 28 of 775), but still very poor odds. Any school that takes like than 10% is a real crapshoot.</p>

<p>The collegeboard is incorrect. Call and talk to their admissions councilor or their actual website...its like 20 per year. Sorry, but that's the truth. I believe last year they accepted like 16 or something out of 500 and then they make it seem like its a lot more. But I was thinking about transferring in there awhile ago and their head of transfer admissions told me they only accept 20 per year at most at Trinity.</p>

<p>Im majoring in biology! and isn't trinity for engineer majors?</p>

<p>Those numbers are for the whole university and are self reported by Duke as far as I know. Trinity is the arts and sciences school, which is only one part of duke. Other schools at duke also accept students. You also have to consider that just because they accepted 40, that many did not necessarily matriculate.</p>

7

<p>jsut for the info drangonsneedspank, pratt is for engineering and trinity is for arts and sci</p>

8

<p>Yeah...Trinity is like 15-20 out of 500. Maybe the other schools accept more with less applicants but the school that gets the most applicants is one of the most selective, if not the most selective transfer school in the country. 15 out of 500 is insane.</p>

9

<p>So are you saying my chances are slim?</p>

10

<p>Every ones chances are slim. 40 out 775 is like 5%. 95 out of 100 people applying get rejected.</p>

11

<p>Again, 40 out of 775 is a good chance relative to if you are looking to go into Arts/Sciences school. If you are trying to get into Trinity then your chances are more like 3%.</p>

12

<p>Priority #1 - Have as close to a 4.0 as possible your first semester. I wouldn't even CONSIDER transferring until you've accomplished that.</p>

13

<p>I did my math wrong. I accidently divided dukes acceptances by yales applicants. Anyways, it is still only 6.7%. overall.</p>

14

<p>so the onli way i can get in most likly or ahve a chance is to have a close enough GPA of 4.0?</p>

15

<p>Yeah or exactly 4.0 and have killer reqs and also look at the T-Req requirements and have yours match theirs closely b/c that is taken into account as well.</p>

16

<p>Whats T-req requirements? explain more on that plz</p>
