So from an optimistic point of view, say that the campuses are putting all 5000 toward new transfer students, divide that by 7 (excluding cal and LA) we are looking at a 3-8 percent increase in admit rates.
Pessimistic view: @lindyk8 if what you say is correct, even the1500 divided amongst the 7 schools would still bump up admit rates by 1-4 percent depending on your school.
This is based off this years records so assuming its similar next year, all in all we have a better shot everyone. Don’t see this as a negative. As everyone has been saying, chances are the ones who are even thinking about applying now are CSU applicants teetering on the decision of wasting 70 dollars on an application.
