<p>bc,
I agree about the % numbers that have been presented here for the transfers are more useful. (BTW, which schools are you alleging that I am trying to hurt and help with my presentation of the numbers of students?) Thanks to those who calculated and presented the percentage data. </p>
<p>By using the transfer game, certain schools can mask the true quality and depth of their student bodies. Among those who do this are two prominent colleges-Cornell and Emory, both of which have delayed entrance admissions. I’m not sure of the overall numbers of students admitted via these programs, but clearly the institution benefits from their statistical exclusion. </p>
<p>As for your other comments on all of USNWR, I’m not here to defend their methodology, but IMO they aren’t the guilty party if schools are actively trying to game the system. That would be the corner-cutting institutions and the academics who endorse these moves (Presidents, Provosts, Deans of Admissions, other responsible college officials, etc.). If they don’t exercise the integrity to properly count and report their numbers, then what kind of an example is that? </p>
<p>Maybe I’m na</p>
