<p>It’s 67%, actually.</p>

<p>And yes, the transfer 4-year-graduation rate isn’t spectacular. But keep in mind that transfers aren’t this uniformly bad lot as you suggest. Most transfers I encountered while at UCLA were excellent students and indistinguishable from their high school-entrant counterparts.</p>

<p>However, for many of them, especially science majors, transferring poses a bit of a challenge for four year graduation rates-- and it’s not because of the lack of available courses. It’s labs.</p>
