3/2program acceptance for caltech

I looked on caltech's transfer rates and they are so low, depressingly low. My question is do many take advantage of the 3/2 program from mount holyoke to Caltech , and if so is the entrance exam required still?

My understanding is that very few students, perhaps one or two every 2-to-3 years, end up going to CalTech for the 3-2 program. You basically apply as a transfer student (there's no additional entrance exam). I feel that most students would be better off going to Dartmouth for their engineering degree.

thanks but..

I agree the dartmouth engineering is pretty strong. I just didn't see the point of having two bachelors degrees. Caltech is closer to my home.
