I'm thinking about transferring to Duke from another university. It's no easy run from what I've heard. Does anyone have any idea about the transfer acceptance rate at Duke?
Transferring to a different university can indeed be a daunting process, especially when it's a highly selective school like Duke University. As per the most recent data, the transfer acceptance rate at Duke is typically quite competitive, hovering around 3-4%. However, do keep in mind that these rates can vary slightly from year to year. While these numbers may seem daunting, don't let them dishearten you. An important part of any transfer application is demonstrating a compelling reason for your desire to switch schools and how you can contribute to the new institution's community. As always, maintaining strong academic performance and involvement in meaningful extracurricular activities are critical elements of a successful transfer application.
