<p>But your post about Northwestern's acceptance rate for Fall transfers is wrong...flat out:</p>
<p><a href="http://ugadm.northwestern.edu/commondata/%5B/url%5D">http://ugadm.northwestern.edu/commondata/</a></p>
<p>Looking at this data, published by Northwestern you'll find:
(Accepted/Applied)- %
Fall 2000- 210/615- 34.14%
Fall 2001- 186/631- 29.48%
Fall 2002- 90/551- 16.33%
Fall 2003- 180/610- 29.5%
Fall 2004- 166/529- 31.38%</p>
<p>5-yr average: 832/2936- 28.34%
All 5 %'s added & averaged- 28.17%</p>
<p>Even if the Fall 2005 unpublished info went down to 17%, statistically the evidence would essentially state that this was a rare occurrence, much like the Fall 2002 acceptance rate. It is possible that you are correct and they will stay down between 15-20%, but much of the evidence doesn't support it. The usual acceptance rate is about a 29-31% acceptance with a few more in 2000, and a lot less in 2002. </p>
<p>One year changes do not constitute an overall change in acceptance rates...one dot on a graph isn't a trend, it's just one data point.</p>
