Noticed gender difference in common data sets transfer/not

For example, Cornell has 0 “other gender” students out of their entire class of 26,793 people (from the 2024-2025 reports). From transferring applicants, only 8 applied and 0 got in—which makes sense, since it’s a low amount of applicants from that group, but isn’t having 0 “other gender” students be accepted in the last 4 years a little weird? Same thing for Brown, who has 0 “other gender” students enrolled and only had 3 of them apply as transfers.

I’m not really sure where you got this data, but I can tell you for certain that there are definitely non-binary students at Cornell and Brown. And every other school you might be looking at. I wouldn’t let false data be a reason to not apply for transfer. Why you are already looking to transfer before even starting college is another matter.
