<p>“With a DePaul potential transfer applicant who is applying ONLY as a back up in case they are cut from DePaul but may not transfer EVER to any school, the college cannot put a lot ot confidence in that the student may attend if accepted.”</p>
<p>I understand the concept of yield. But statistically, a first year DePaul student has a 50/50 chance that they will not be in the sophomore class at DePaul, meaning they have a 50% chance they will transfer, and this is not taking into account the fact that there are always students who don’t like their program and will WANT to transfer (making them have a higher chance of transferring to whatever hypothetical college) making the average transfer applicant from DePaul at whatever audition have a 50% or HIGHER chance of attending. probably puts them on pretty close ground to other applicants. </p>
<p>And in terms of the success rate of a DePaul transfer applicant at these auditions, it’s an audition like any other, you do what you need to do to be successful. You answer their questions the way you feel you need to.</p>
