[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With a high retention rate, one would expect to see a low number of transfers accepted, because there are fewer departures to replace.  But UVA actually [b]enrolls more transfers as a percentage of undergraduate enrollment than Virginia Tech. [/b] Transfers to VT averaged 3.8% of undergraduate enrollment per year vs. 4.4% per year over the last 4 years.  You can see transfer and enrollment data on the SCHEV site.[/quote]

No, both Virginia Tech and UVA admit @ the exact same number as compared to their overall undergraduate population.  As you know, most of these transfers are students who met all the criteria for a transfer into UVA or Va Tech (not an easy feat).  UVA has only 16,655 undergraduates and Virginia Tech has 27,100 students.  4.4 percent of UVA's undergraduate population is 432 students, while 3.8% of Virginia Tech's undergrad student body is 1,029, so actually many more in-state students are admitted to Virginia Tech than to UVA for the third year.[/quote]

I don't understand your statement.  The PP talked about transfers [b]as a percentage of undergraduate population[/b], but you switched to absolute numbers.  [/quote]
