Is there a place that will provide transfer admission rates?

Transfer Students
1

<p>For most colleges? If not, where can I find recent transfer admission rates for these colleges:</p>

<p>University of Virginia (UVa)
Cornell U
U of Penn
U of Michigan
Yale U
Duke U
Carnegie Mellon U
Georgetown U</p>

<p>and if possible, Dartmouth/Brown/Columbia U, although those are not on the top of my list...</p>

<p>Also, does having or going to have an associate degree prior to applying going to have much of an effect?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

Cornell University accepted 34.9 percent of transfer applicants, a figure that can be partially attributed to a promise to its best rejected applicants that they will be accepted if they transfer after freshman year.

<p>34.9...and the article was published nov.8.06.</p>

<p>hmm.</p>

<p>the Duke number is about 10% too high...</p>

<p>Remember that even though UVa is 40%, they have a guarenteed admission program for Virginia community college students meeting all requirements. Also, of that 40%, 2/3 must be from in state, if my info is correct. Spring transfer is harder than Fall. An admission counselor there told me that they let in 12% of spring applicants this year, 60 of 500.

<p>thanks a million! i'm in state and have met all of the requirements so I guess the va colleges are a lock in hopefully, but the others...</p>

<p>The others are a crap shoot for anybody.</p>

<p>Both collegeboard.com and USN&WR premium online edition give # of transfer apps/# accepted/# matriculating for some recent year (not always specified).</p>

<p>For many schools, you can get it straight from the horse's mouth by googling Common Data Set and each school's name.</p>

<p>Dasani - what school within UVa are you applying to?
The common data set has it broken down into % accepted into each school, so it will vary from 40% for each school since students arn't admitted to the actual university. 40% is simply the percentage of total admitted/total applied to even enter UVa, but the school %s are much more important. A school like Artit. and Business have rates below 20% on average, while CAS and e-school have around 40% each year, while the cont-studies had 100% last year. So, again, look at the different schools =)
Check out the UVa thread, theres lots on the transfer process right now, and there was a pretty heated topic over the auto agreement for VCCS transfers</p>

<p>Just fyi, I did the whole Google "Common Data Set _____" and it worked</p>

<p>Hey Dasani, I think you have U.S. News and World Report's Top 15 covered. Why don't you throw in Stanford, Harvard, and MIT for the fun of it?</p>

13

<p>actually half of those are not within the top 15 ;)</p>
