<p>I'm applying as a transfer for next fall, and am curious if there is any advantage to applying early (like by Jan. 1st instead of the Mar. 1st deadline). Is it a good idea to just submit everything as soon as I get my fall grades? If there are any successful transfers out there, when did you guys submit your apps?</p>

<p>No. (They don't start reading till after freshman apps are finished being read, aka mid-April)<br>
No. (Use as much time as you can for your essays/app, but you can send in grades/scores whenever).<br>
Feb 28th by midnight, to give me a full day to fix broken shtuff on my app.</p>

<p>What is the percent of transfer applicants that are accepted?</p>

<p>Thanks, shoebox. vistany- I think 35-40%. This can be a little decieving though, as in-staters have a huge leg up, especially VCC students.</p>

<p>That is much higher than I expected. Any idea what that 35-40% equates to in terms of actual number of transfer students admitte? Would you say 250 or is that too high?</p>

Well, it's been a long wait. The calendar has turned to July, and at this point, we have closed the wait list and filled the class. The following statistics will give you and idea of the class. We accepted about 80 students from the wait list. A great majority of those were from the College of Arts and Sciences. Overall, we offered to 37% of the applicants with a yield of 72%. About 73% of the students who are enrolling are from Virginia. 44% were enrolled in the Virginia Community College System. A little under half are rising second year students. 43 students are international. On the whole, the group of 586 is half female, half male.</p>

<p>If you have been admitted, please be sure to send us your spring grades as soon as possible. This will make orientation a smooth and stress free process.
