<p>Anyone here will be applying or have applied? If so, please list your stats. Does anyone know how selective the transfer admissions process or what the freshman retention rate is? I'm coming from NY and was admitted to NYU Stern but I don't know if I want to attend. Does my geographic location help? I'm thinking I'd like to give my school another year and possibly apply to more schools, including my first choice Cornell (AEM). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!</p>
<p>I was accepted this year as a transfer. They took 10/182. My stats are in the "official results" thread.</p>
<p>congrats. will you be attending? do you happen to know anything about their 'pre-business' major/concentration?</p>
<p>I got rejected by Pomona but got accepted to Brown and waitlisted at Amherst. Admissions are pretty random sometimes.</p>
<p>that's not too random renix. Brown takes a lot more transfers than the small lac's, except last year.</p>
<p>biggyboy, I actually didn't know that they had a pre-business concentration. Anywho, I applied as an econ / phil major.</p>
<p>lol ok does anyone know anything else about pomona they'd like to share with us?</p>
<p>According to each school's common data set, Brown accepted 202 of 823 transfer students who applied last year, for an acceptance rate of 24.5%.</p>
<p>Amherst accepted 28 of 162 for an acceptance rate of 17.3%. </p>
<p>Pomona accepted 14 of 178 for an acceptance rate of 7.9%.</p>
<p>Doesn't seem random at all.</p>
<p>damn i guess i won't even apply. too bad i didn't try brown.</p>
<p>that data for Brown last year is completely wrong. They took way less.</p>
<p>Numbers actually are very random. Pomona may be more consistent than others, but the spots available at LACs fluctuate widely depending on how many students study abroad / transfer out / etc. Unis are more consistent usually. Brown took far fewer last year (~3%) but more than that this year.</p>
<p>Yeah, brand is right. You peeps are crazy fools!</p>
<p>Brown's numbers comes from their own website, representing students entering fall of 2005 (the most recent available). See page 11 of this document <a href="http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Institutional_Research/survey/test_facts/CDS2005_2006.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Institutional_Research/survey/test_facts/CDS2005_2006.pdf</a></p>
<p>(Applicants) (Admitted Applicants) (Enrolled Applicants)
Men 332 74 47
Women 491 128 88
Total 823 202 135</p>
<p>Acceptance rate (202/823)=24.5%
Yield (135/202)=66.8%</p>
<p>If anyone has more recent data please post.</p>
<p>33/1085</p>
<p>SarahsDad - I am not debating 2005's numbers. However, there are updated numbers, as renix has provided, showing Brown's 3% acceptance rate last year. It is reported to have not been so bad this year, but still extremely tough, so their numbers are quite variable, as are LACs in particular.</p>
<p>Thanks for the link. Why such wide fluctuations though? I wouldn't think that the number who transfer out/study abroad would really vary that much from year to year. Did they make a policy change?</p>
<p>SD
It's all about yield and "heads and beds".The fluctuations are due to colleges having more Freshmen say "yes' in a particular year[ like this year] than they had anticipated or planned, as well as the number of students transfering out. They HAVE to have room for all incoming freshmen, and often that means fewer transfers are accepted. Which is why transfers aren't notified whether they are accepted until after May 1, the date when freshmen must commit to a college.</p>
<p>Pomona?
Is it cal poly Pomona?</p>
<p>Is it a good strong in business?</p>
<p>why not Cal Poly SLO</p>
<p>No They Are 2 Diff Colleges</p>
<p>pomona is a highly selective liberal arts college that happens to offer some sort of pre-business concentration. can anyone please help the OP?</p>
