| Short Description: | In the Fall of 2006, NACAC
included a supplement on its annual Admission Trends survey to learn more about how colleges evaluate candidates
in the transfer admission process, as well as acceptance and yield rates for transfer applicants. These survey data,
which were collected in partnership with a dissertation project at Michigan State University, provide a baseline snap-shot of the transfer admission process. These baseline data will inform NACAC’s future research to monitor trends in transfer admission.

| Annotation: | Each Spring, much media attention is focused on the college admission process for ?rst-year students, with particular
emphasis on acceptance rates and factors that colleges consider when choosing among applicants. However, less
attention is focused on the transfer admission process, which affects approximately one-third of students beginning
at either a four- or two-year institution during the course of their postsecondary careers. In the Fall of 2006, NACAC
included a supplement on its annual Admission Trends survey to learn more about how colleges evaluate candidates
in the transfer admission process, as well as acceptance and yield rates for transfer applicants. These survey data,
which were collected in partnership with a dissertation project at Michigan State University, provide a baseline snap-shot of the transfer admission process. These baseline data will inform NACAC’s future research to monitor trends in transfer admission.
