I'm interested in transferring to the College of William and Mary and I'm curious about their acceptance rate for transfer students. Does anyone have recent stats or personal experiences with transferring there?
The acceptance rate for transfer students can vary from year to year, much like first-time admission rates. According to the latest reported data from the National Center for Education Statistics, the College of William and Mary's transfer acceptance rate was approximately 48%.
Remember, however, that these statistics give you just a broad sense of the landscape, they are not guarantees about your individual chances of acceptance. The admissions committee will look at many aspects of your application such as your transcript, statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, and your involvement in extracurricular activities at your current institution.
You might also find it useful to reach out directly to the admissions office at William and Mary to get more specific, up-to-date information on their transfer process, and to demonstrate your interest.
