Thank you for the question. We will not release an overall admit rate for the Class of 2021 until we close the waitlist and complete the class.

Thank you for asking how this process works. As we state on our transfer website, we invite transfer students to join our campus community as scholars, and as active, residential, community members. While it is traditionally more natural for a student to demonstrate this fit when they are coming from another four-year residential community as a full-time student, we also admit transfer students from other backgrounds, including students who have been at two-year schools, students with military backgrounds, and students from non-traditional backgrounds. Through a competitive and holistic selection process, transfer applicants are either admitted, denied, or waitlisted. We use the transfer waitlist for students for whom we hope to find a spot if space becomes available. Students from all kinds of backgrounds are waitlisted; it is simply inaccurate to say that “almost all” community college applicants are placed on the waitlist and then denied. Finally, we honor application fee waiver requests for transfer applicants, just as we do for first-year applicants.

I’m not sure how accurate this will end up being, but I did some calculations from the ED and RD page and it looks like this year it is around 10.3% for 2021 as of right now, but that may change with waitlists etc.
