[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vang takes a ton of transfers that aren’t athletes, my dd,  college sophomore, knows a few.  Apparently it’s pretty widely known that it is significantly easier to get into Vandy as a transfer than as a freshman.[/quote]

There are a 105 players on a college football team. And Vanderbilt is competitive in baseball too. And their basketball team tries too. That's like 150 slots right there. And almost all of those rosters are changing every year with the transfer portal. I'm sure it's the same at Notre Dame. Harvard will have hockey. Duke is trying to be competitive in football as well as basketball. USC is in everything. So is Michigan. Stanford has their swimmers but does compete in football. Northwestern is heavily committed to football judging by their fancy practice facility on the lake.

Those transfer numbers are all D1 male athletes. It's going to skew the percentages. For non-athlete transfers, I do believe the elite colleges are giving a preference to community colleges. Looking for the bright kids there.
