<p>It might be that the seats that are the “most full” at UT are those in the “301” and “302” classes, and the transfer students don’t take up any of those seats? Also, the transfer students are low risk; they’ve made it through one or two years of college so maybe UT is confident they can handle being responsible for themselves and for their college coursework?</p>
<p>(If we were talking about some other schools, the rate at which transfer students are admitted might be related to those schools trying to get mor students without hurting their US News rankings (because a school can play around with transfer admission rates and not impact its US News rankings), but I don’t think UT worries about US News rankings. These rankings are highly influenced by admission rate and UT can’t do much about its admission rate.)</p>
