Cornell University typically has an overall transfer acceptance rate of around 10-15%. However, it's important to note that acceptance rates can vary significantly between different colleges within the university. Unfortunately, Cornell doesn't publicly release specific transfer acceptance rates for each of its colleges or schools, including the College of Human Ecology.

The College of Human Ecology is unique in its focus, as it blends various disciplines to explore the relationship between people and their environments, both natural and built. The college places a high value on a demonstrated commitment to its interdisciplinary focus in prospective students' applications and coursework.

While acceptance rates provide a general idea of competitiveness, remember that each applicant is evaluated holistically, and many factors, such as your academic performance, recommendation letters, personal essays, and how well your goals align with the college's mission, can influence your chances of admission. For instance, if your past coursework and future goals strongly align with the human ecology focus of linking social and natural sciences to improve lives, this could potentially enhance your application.

Additionally, the admissions office also looks at your reasons for transferring and why Cornell's College of Human Ecology is a good fit for you. Therefore, it can be helpful to convey your genuine interest in your application -- particularly why you want to study human ecology at Cornell, how you can contribute to their community, and why transferring is essential in achieving your academic and career goals.

Finally, keep in mind that the transfer process is highly selective and can vary each year based on the number of available spaces, making it somewhat unpredictable. It's always a good idea to have multiple options and not put all your eggs in one basket. Good luck!
