I heard that transfer acceptance rate last year was about 3%, it was 5.2% (25/479) in 2008.

Haha, considering that, I’ve met roughly half of them ;D Most of the transfers I’ve met were female athletes. One guys started a business in college and is also pretty good at martial arts (if you ask me, he likely inflated his resume a ton - I have only been disappointed by him, haha). I’m pretty sure one was an artist. I haven’t met any in Pratt, afaik.

I would say every transfer applicant probably had a decent GPA, but more likely they fit some sort of niche of which the admissions staff wanted to represent better or they did what they loved in their free time and they were good at it.

So, considering that, what sort of extracurriculars did you put down? That would answer your question better. They probably have a deadline of receiving material in a month or two, so you might want to come up with something unique about yourself that will contribute to Duke’s campus if you have’t already.
