32,000 seeking admission to Northwestern's Class of 2016

<p>For fall 2009 (the Common Data Set is not yet available for fall 2010 and 2011), the transfer acceptance rate was 15.9%. I imagine it has gone down since. Also last year, Northwestern overenrolled the freshman class by about 100 (103 to be exact; 2128* enrolled when they were targeting 2025) so they’re expecting to make fewer offers this year, at least to the freshman class.</p>
