Help!: Swarthmore vs. Harvard

<p>Hey Vic:</p>

<p>I just want to give you a round of applause for your obvious accomplishments. Terrific stuff. You should be very proud and you'll add a nice dimension to whatever great school you choose.</p>

<p>Like I said, it's different by the year. Maybe it raised a lot this year. But on last, year, from collegeboard.com: </p>

<ul>
<li>Total number of transfer students who applied: 105

<ul>
<li>Total number of transfer students who were admitted: 27</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

<p>The year before that 20% were accepted. They prob just had fewer spaces this year. Still doesn't mean a lot in terms of determining where someone should attend.</p>

<p>I totally agree with you on that, ecape. I've said many times on this board that selectivity is merely an indicator of demand, not quality. But I'm really anal about my facts, so i had to respond. It's just a thing.</p>
