<p>I'm sure (and hope so) that I'm not the only one who's a little bit obsessive about transfer rates to top colleges</p>
<p>So if you have any stats on transferring to the top 1-100ish colleges post em' here!</p>
<p>“Yale receives more than 1,000 transfer applications each year, and we have spaces for only 20 to 30 students.”</p>
<p>Yo we can do this.
LOL</p>
<p>Stanford</p>
<p>“Transfer admission is considerably more competitive than freshman admission. In recent years, the admit rate for transfer students has ranged from one to four percent. Between twenty and fifty transfer student spaces are typically available each year…”</p>
<p>OP, suggestion … if you’re interested in the info do the leg work yourself and share it with the community.</p>
<p>FYI, some top schools do not accept transfers at all and a lot accept very few … among other reasons these schools have VERY high retention rates so there are few spots to replace students who leave … unlike schools less selective who have a much greater student churn year-to-year. (this comment was directed at private schools … a lot of publics are structural set up to accepts a lot of transfers).</p>
<p>try googling: ‘transfer web’ holds all the statistics you seek as recently as 2011…or just look up the common data sets for each school</p>
<p>Spoke with a Stanford admissions officer yesterday. They received 1600 apps this year, accepted 32 (2%)
UCB is about 21%
LA is a little more lenient than UCB
The top private schools on the East Coast are similar to Stanford’s acceptance rate.
Harvard doesn’t always have room for transfers, but on a year that they do their acceptance rate is <1%
Yes, I’m a little obsessed with transfer info lol</p>

<p>Transfer rates from 2011 for top 50 universities.</p>
<p>I hope you also realize that unless you get accepted to the schools that have money to give, you may not get a lot of financial aid. However, if you don’t need financial aid, ignore everything I just stated.</p>
<p>I don’t see the point in really obsessing about the rates.</p>
