Very shocking, might be the goal if DC can't get into a top school freshman year.

ND has very specific guidelines about transferring

Vandy is transfer friendly

I believe that the 30% statistic includes those students who attend neighbor school Holy Cross their freshman year via the Gateway Program. These students are not (yet) officially Notre Dame students but they do take one ND class and then upon successfully completing their first year in Gateway at Holy Cross "transfer" to be a fully matriculating ND student.

It worked for Rudy.

My DC got in on transfer. Excellent grades (4.0) and great ECs at first (much less competitive) college.

Other schools?!?

Northwestern?
Vanderbilt?

Sounds great! Transfers are usually more educated on the college, are used to college work and excelled in it, and are eager to contribute!

USC has an incredibly EASY transfer in pathway. As does the entire UC system, including Berkeley and UCLA.

Lots of top schools are transfer-friendly if you have excellent grades.

UC system prioritizes transfers from CA community colleges and then from other UCs, don’t think you’ll just slide right into UCLA or Berkeley from JMU.

Yes, this is true. So take away the 75-80 Gateway kids from the total of accepted transfer students to get a more accurate number.

Nearby Saint Mary's too.

I think transfer rates should be factored in to US News selectivity formula. A 13% freshman rate and a 30% transfer rate isn't as selective as it initially seems. Same woth Vandy, UNC etc.

My DS got accepted to both Vandy and ND as a transfer from GMU. He was shocked that he got accepted to both. He chose Vandy and started classes today as a junior.
