<p>I’ve been looking at the ratio of transfer students to the entire population of each campuses, and I found out that UCLA had the largest ratio of 30% out of all UC’s. I may be mistaking, but I am forced to conclude that such high ratio can only mean that there are equally large amount of students who decide to transfer to another school after spending a year or two in UCLA, due to whatever reason it might be. Wouldn’t this mean that relative satisfaction at UCLA is actually not very high compared to other UC’s?</p>

<p>Correct me if I’m wrong.</p>

<p>It could also be kids dropping out…not necesarrily transfering</p>

<p>–That 30% is the number of students who transferred in (as Juniors) from CCs & other institutions; there is no indication of how many undergrads transfer out on the chart dhl3 cited.</p>

<p>There are other stats that show the number of freshmen and/or transfers who actually graduate (called persistence stats). For example:<br>

<p>UC Santa Cruz is the UC with the highest ratio of kids who xfer out.</p>
