Some unfortounate news for Duke Transfers

Transfer Students
1

<p>I called them up today regarding some issues with my application. The Admissions coordinator indicated to me that there are 12 spots available for a pool of 600 applicants: 4 for college of engineering 7 for College of Arts and Sciences. </p>

<p>Doing some button punching, this constitutes as an acceptance rate of about 1% for CAS trasfers, 6/10ths of a percent for for engineering trasfers (in the engineering calculation, I just took the raw 600 as I dont know how many are applying for that school).</p>

<p>Somewhat depressing numbers to say the least.</p>

<p>You should have applied, you might have gotten in with your math skills :P</p>

<p>I'm starting to get stupid on the forums, sorry for that horrible for Duke though. I never knew they were that selective...they must have a high retention rate. Good luck</p>

<p>Maybe the twelve spots came from the lacrosse team? lmao.</p>

<p>LoL just realized that, 4 and 7 does not equal 12.. :P.. Well that is what she told me: perhaps that vacant spot is for another school within Duke? </p>

<p>Dear god, imagine that! 1 spot for an applicant pool of 600 people (less then 1%!). </p>

<p>Well, look at the bright side, due to the Lacrosse Fiasco, we might increase that pool by about 3. :) Even if you are not going to get accepted, look at the bright side, you are donating 70$ to one of the top institutions of learning. :)</p>

<p>This is last year all over again.</p>

15

<p>Really?? Last year had these sombering numbers as well?</p>

16

<p>I believe they only admitted 24 because of over-enrollment.</p>

<p>No, I think he means that they are admitting very few transfers, as last year.</p>

19

<p>This year's class is significantly over-enrolled, so I wouldn't be suprised if transfer admission is very difficult.</p>
