[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]88% at American [/quote] Transfers count as “attrition,” don’t they?[/quote] Sure, students leave for many reasons. Transfer is one of them. [/quote] I was just thinking that kids who transfer out of a school like American are probably smarter and more financially secure than average, not less. (The transfer market is usually kindest to full pay students who did well freshman year.) So the retention/attrition rates include both kids who were too slow/poor to keep up, and kids who were too smart/rich to stick around. Because of that, it’s not a great stat to use without having more context about a school. [/quote] Those kids usually transfer out to higher tier schools from lower tier schools. Those kids leave because they think the schools are not challenging and good enough for them. Hence lower tier schools normally have lower retentions. [/quote]
