<p>Well, that sucks. It must have changed quite a bit in the last year, since US News 2007 Premium Edition shows 524 applicants and 157 acceptances = approx. 29%...and Collegeboard.com shows the same information. </p>
<p>Damnit.</p>
<p>Edit: While you're here, Nspeds, why don't you help me out a little: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=262771%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=262771</a></p>
<p>I don't know about the USNews, but I do know that one should never trust collegeboard with transfer information.</p>
<p>Edit: And I don't know how to respond to your other thread.</p>
<p>Yeah, well US News still shows a 24% acceptance rate for Brown, so I'll take the school website's information over second-hand statistics anyday.</p>
<p>Don't quote me on this but Claremont Pomona only accepted around 3 transfer students last year. I heard this from one of my professors who was an alumni from there.</p>
<p>Dartmouth: 11.6%
Carnegie Mellon: 15.9%
Amherst: 18.9%
Swarthmore: 19.6%
Northwestern: 19.6%
Oberlin: 26.4%
Vanderbilt: 26.6%
Grinnell: 26.9%
Cornell: 33.3%
Hamilton: 34%
Davidson: 39.1%
Michigan: 44.7%
Emory: 52.8%
Bucknell: 53.8%
UVA: 76.2%</p>
<p>There is no way in hell UVA has a 76% transfer rate. And I believe Emory's is in the high 30s. Where'd you get that information? The rest of it looks right.</p>
<p>Nah, apparently, Emory is in the low 50s as is William and Mary.</p>
<p>do the majority of those UVA transfers come from other VA public schools where there might be agreements with UVA, or CCs like is the case for the UC system? </p>
<p>Is residence still taken into account transferring into UVA? that seems like a really high number for a school with such selective frosh admissions</p>
<p>When you see a very high acceptance rate, it is a good idea to check whether there are expedited transfers/special arrangements/transfer articulation agreements with certain jc's or cc's. That can make the overall rate deceptive. It is not only state publics which have these; some private colleges/universities do as well.</p>
<p>northwestern transfer rate is lower than that now, two years ago it was 17%, this year there haven't been statistics released but a press release said there were 1100 applicants for slightly less spots than the year before (100 this year, 150 the year before), so i'm assuming the rate went to about 12-15%</p>
<p>Emory's transfer acceptance rate is 34%. Source= USNews</p>
<p>Iono...I got my stat from their admissions office when I called last month. The lady said she didn't have the exact numbers in front of her (and I was calling right before the office closed), but she said it was in the low 50%.</p>
<p>All of my numbers came directly from the Common Data Sets, taken from each college's website. If you don't believe me, go look the numbers up yourself.</p>
<p>I only calculated the admit rates for males; the rates for females may differ slightly or significantly depending on the college.</p>
<p>2062 freshmen enrolled at Northwestern this fall. Last year, they got 1952. That's a different of over 100 students. I don't know if they planned to expand or if it's over-enrolling. If it's the latter, they will probably accept fewer sophomore transfers.</p>
<p>it was over enrollment, or it better have been considering the amount of open classes during registration at NU, and they said in a statement that they were aiming for "100 transfer students" this year (meaning the last application round) where the year before they had taken 150.</p>
<p>I don't know how many they actually took this year, that data hasn't been released.</p>
<p>UVa's transfer rate is about the same as freshaman admit: aroung 40%</p>
<p>This is according to '06 US News</p>
<p>The info about a 70+% rate is off then?</p>
<p>anyone know NYU and Columbia University transfer rate?</p>
<p>Emory may be higher than I thought, but I still highly doubt UVA is 76%. If it does turn out to be that high, someone let me know so I can have another safety. ;)</p>
<p>NYU's is around 30% and Columbia's is around 9%.</p>
<p>Typically, Brown admits a good number. This year it went down SIGNIFICANTLY, but there were complaints, so I wouldn't be surprised if it went back up again. </p>
<p>DH-- I second that about WUSTL</p>
<p>Brand, Claremont Mckenna's transfer rate is less than 30%. I believe they took 22 out of 200+ students the past fall. I thought they'd take some spring transfers, but they took ZERO (to my knowledge). Damn those bastards for stealing 60 bucks of my application money.</p>
