I would assume it has something to do with the curriculum. While I am by no means an expert on the subject, from what I understand, the first two years of Princeton are intended for exploration and trying new subjects/classes. Conversely, students spend the second two years focusing on their chosen majors/programs. Transfer applicants might come from schools with radically different schedules, and Princeton’s administration is probably afraid that they might end up having trouble assimilating to Princeton’s rigorous schedule and other requirements.

That’s my guess, anyway.
