What is the transfer rate to Claremont McKenna College?

I'm considering transferring to Claremont McKenna College and was curious about their transfer acceptance rate. Does anyone know how competitive it is to get in as a transfer student?

Transfer admissions rates can fluctuate from year to year, and colleges may not always publicly advertise their most up-to-date numbers. However, it's known that Claremont McKenna College is a highly selective institution and, similar to their first-year admissions process, the transfer admissions process is also quite competitive.

In past years, the acceptance rate for transfer students at Claremont McKenna has hovered around 10-15%, though this could be slightly higher or lower in more recent cycles. It's also important to remember that admission isn't solely a numbers game—the admissions committee will look at the entirety of your application, including your academic performance at your current institution, the rigor of your coursework, your personal statement, recommendations, and your reasons for seeking to transfer.

As a prospective transfer student, your best course of action will be to maintain strong academic performance and to craft a compelling narrative as to why you're seeking to transfer to Claremont McKenna, how you would contribute to the community, and what you wish to achieve there.
