<p>Especially for Fall 2009 transfer applicants: do you anticipate increased selectivity at top schools as a result of Harvard's decision? This is the first year since Harvard announced the end of Transfer Admissions--last year, the applications were already submitted by the beginning of the moratorium.</p>
<p>its not like they ever admitted more than 100 people.. so spread those over every top school and wow, things stay the same haha</p>
<p>It's not so much the admitted applicants as the entire Harvard applicant pool, which usually hovers around 1,000 people. They will now apply elsewhere..at least the ones who only applied to Harvard.</p>
<p>Also remember, 100 students is a very significant number in top school Transfer admissions. Last time Harvard took transfers, they admitted 85: or over 3 full years of Yale transfers or 4 full years of Stanford transfers.</p>

<p>I'm not clear with this piece of info. Could you explain it please? Thx!
I quoted from CB:Transfer Students
Total number of transfer students who applied: 1,156
Total number of transfer students who were admitted: 46 </p>
<p>I think it is the last time Harvard received transfer applicants.</p>
<p>Sorry if I got the statistics wrong, I must have gotten numbers from a different year. Though, even with 46, I still would tend to think there would be an effect on transfers this year.</p>
