I don't care, I was just pointing out that I posted this in the 2006 rates thread because someone had asked. I thought about posting my own thread on the 2007. It was just a remark.

Thank you to all who have posted information on the 2007 rates, whether initially on the 2006 thread or on this separate thread, which I have now stickied.

Also thank you to those who are posting updates, new information and sources. All of this is valuable. It is inevitable that better information will come along as more schools publish last year's acceptance rates. It is, obviously, no disrespect to those who posted older information when that was all that was available.

This thread is meant to be a valuable resource to those trying to compile lists for their own transfer applications. Acceptance rates are one very valuable tool in choosing target schools and compiling a balanced list of selectivity ranges.

Let's appreciate it for what it is.

The 2007 Hopkins transfer acceptance rate was 8.5%. (62/721 applicants)

Good luck everyone!

Chicago accepted 77 out of ~650 last year (11.8%).

anyone else find it interesting that Uchicago didn't post the real transfer acceptance rate until a week after the EA deadline? Sound like they didn't want to discourage some students from applying by publishing information that they have had available for almost a year...

I also noticed that.

However, the Collegeboard site had the 2007 numbers up for a while.

Chicago seemed to reject almost everyone RD last year except kids transferring from ivies. Better apply EA for transfer if you want to have any chance.

I have spoken to someone at NYU about their numbers. All that I could get was that Gallatin (which I am applying for) ranges from 25-50%. Be careful not to judge NYU based on overall numbers. Stern and Tisch are in a WHOLE other league than the rest from what I hear. CAS is also difficult. The others are far more easy.

...and definitely better than Stanford's 20/1450 (me = bitter, disgruntled "waitlisted" student)

P.S. I had a conversation with the woman in charge of Duke's transfer adcom and she said last year was something like 15 or 20/600 = < 3.3%
