transfer admissions at smaller schools can be very difficult to ‘chance’ because the number of admitted students will vary rather wildly from year to year based on how many students the school has space to accept.

for example, bucknell accepted nearly 41% of transfer applicants two years ago. in that climate, you would have a solid chance. however, only 13% of transfer applicants were accepted last year. in that climate, it is obvious you would have an uphill battle to climb.

i suspect the data looks similar for colgate. boston college has always been difficult to transfer into. your best bet, year in and year out, is probably lehigh.

so… who knows?
