The Official Fall 2006 Transfer Statistics Thread

<p>"gee someone is into prestige" </p>

<p>of all people, funny you say it. If I remember correctly, you posted on the Cornell forum a while back that you "wanted a school with a higher average SAT range" and that you are "considering transfering for this very reason." Very wise.</p>

<p>also, remind your friend that as "brilliant" as he may be, he missed a rather big part of the whole transfer process. Last time I checked, Princeton does not offer transfer admission. Dolt!</p>

<p>I am not sure what you intended to accomplish from this. Bball's 3.6 may be lower than a CC 4.0, but I would rather accept the former than the latter - and so would many top colleges.</p>

<p>I actually think its pretty cool and interesting. Thanks Matt30!</p>

<p>"wow, someone has time on their hands."</p>

<p>Haha. Whatever Mr. obsessive compusive!</p>

<p>"I am not sure what you intended to accomplish from this."</p>

<p>Well the threads does say "The official Fall 2006 Trasnfer Statistics Thread" so I thought, hey, I should put up at least one compiled statistic. What was the point in your post? I didn't think I'd get a crotchety responce for posting numbers with no context.</p>

<p>"I actually think its pretty cool and interesting."</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>If someone has one of them fancy calculators they could even find out the standard deviation.</p>
