Speculation - few to 0 transfer admits this year

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>Transferring will be near impossible, as Yale will probably fill a HUGE amount of its class early decision, relatively few regular, and be done with it. This is because its only real peer schools, Harvard and Princeton, have done away with their EA/ED programs, and Yale will get all of those applications.
HOWEVER:
If Yale decides not to take advantage of this years early crop, and it might very well not, transfers will probably be admitted at the same rate. So, I guess I have no idea.</p>

<p>Anyone?</p>

<p>Transfer slots are used to fill up openings in the Soph and Jr classes. I don't know how this directly affects the incoming class...</p>

<p>Even if they misjudge their yield rate and get more matriculants for incoming freshmen than they anticipate, they would have had to admit the tranfers already -- it's not as if they could rescind admitting them.</p>

<p>that being said, rates for transferring in is still ridiculously low (~6%??)</p>

<p>Isn't it more like 2%?</p>
