<p>As you may know transfer admit rates have been dropping even faster than first-year admit rates at most top schools. Most top schools haven't yet announced their 2012 figures, but a few have: Harvard, Stanford, and sort of UChicago. Most likely the rate has dropped a bit at the other schools as well. But here is how UChicago stacks up at the moment for transfers compared with other schools. (I'll update this once more schools report their figures.)</p>
<p>Transfer Admit Rates:</p>
<p>Harvard University: 1% (15/1448)
University of Chicago: 2% (20/1000)
Stanford University: 2.2% (33/1500)
Yale University: 2.7% (29/1072)
Duke University: 2.8% (26/920)
Dartmouth College: 3.3% (28/861)

Vanderbilt University: 31%

<p>The Maroon reported UChicago accepted 20 transfer students this year. However, they didn't mention the total number of apps, so I used last year's number. Because of the rise in first-year applications, it's likely that transfer applications rose as well. The College Board and Dept. of Education will release figures for most schools later this year so eventually we'll know the full picture.</p>
<p>But this give you a rough guide....</p>
