<p>The applicant pool at Washington University is a lot better than USC's, but Washington University also has its fair share of community college applicants. In fact, WUSTL offers scholarships for community college students from Missouri. Additionally, Brand, I have seen your stats, and you would unquestionably get accepted into USC. I do, however, see a vast difference between Rice, Washington University and USC, respectively. First, Rice is the hardest of the three to get into, followed by WUSTL and USC. Also, if you read what I wrote, you are noting the same thing as I: "USC gets 7 times more than that figure, which results in a diluted applicant pool." Theoretically, USC has a higher amount of qualified applicants than both Rice and WUSTL, but because they accept many more applicants, they also accept many less qualified students as well.</p>
<p>I agree with the difficulty comparison of those schools. WashU really struck me as a CC friendly school, which is nice.</p>
<p>I would also add to this list Georgetown, though it would be in the same tier as WashU, Rice, and Notre Dame.</p>
<p>64% get admitted in texas A&M of all transfers. UT Austin is 41%</p>
<p>Emory, especially if you're a male. Notre Dame is not bad, either, as long as you meet their first year program.</p>
<p>What other good private universities favor and/or are more generous to in state residents who transfer???</p>
<p>What do you guys think Northwestern's transfer admission rate will be this year. For such a highly ranked school they seem to accept a fair share (20%-25% on good years)?</p>
<p>A word to the wise: universities tend to have consistent transfer rates, though schools like Northwestern have gone from 30% to nearly 20% in a couple years. Liberal arts colleges, on the other hand, tend to vary drastically. Colby, for instance, accepted around 30% of transfers in 2005 and only 10% in 2006; Colgate accepted around 15% in 2005 and 30% in 2006. There are some schools that seem to always accept few transfers, but don't base your decision on the transfer rates (like I did for some). Just go for the school that you love and be sure to pick a safety.</p>
Uw is not diverse at all. The state itself is only 2% black. They talk about diversity but it’s really just from various countries not races
@jmerc OOS means out of state.
