<p>Which of the top 25 schools are the most transfer-friendly? (as far as the transfer acceptance rate and transfer integration into the school, socially)</p>
<p>Probably the UCs. Michigan is pretty good I hear, too.</p>
<p>what about east coast schools? I hear Brown has a high transfer acceptance rate, as does UVa...</p>
<p>Brown DID...not last year though - it fell a ton. Hopefully it'll go back to normal this year, which is a/b 20%.</p>
<p>University of Notre Dame, 30% acceptance. However, I don't if such hopeful statistic really translates into "easy" admission.</p>

<p>That is doubtful if Brown keeps over-enrolling.</p>
<p>This is speculation on my part: Brown University guarantees housing to all students for their entire four years at the school. Because they overenrolled too many freshmen, they could not accomodate many transfers, and they thus lowered their acceptance rate.
Perhaps one way to predict how the transfer numbers will fare for this year is too see statistics of how many freshmen were admitted and, when possible, see how many put down a deposit (yield).</p>
<p>I could be completely wrong, but when I spoke to the adcom last year, her explanation was that the admit rates are dictated by the enrollment office.</p>
<p>Well if you come across the information let me know. Brown's my #1 choice but if it's like last year, I'm not sure I'll even bother.</p>

<p>Well... you might as well try. And if the numbers are the same, shoot an application to Harvard and see what happens.</p>
