Subject: Re: Note to Joisey/T81 Author: IvySportsJunkie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:58:19 07/08/25 Tue In reply to: Bengal 's message, "Note to Joisey/T81" on 14:02:36 07/07/25 Mon Bengal, this is interesting information. I would like to add that the Ivy League has a high variance in the number of total number of transfers accepted and the transfer admissions acceptance rates at the respective Ivy campuses. This has a significant impact on the number of recruited athletes who can be accepted at each Ivy university. Let’s look at the Ivy transfer stats for 2023 by the respective Ivy undergraduate programs: Harvard accepted 15 students out of 1,892 applications or 0.8% transfer acceptance rate Yale accepted 18 students out of 1,479 applications or 1.2% transfer acceptance rate Dartmouth accepted 12 students out of 768 applications or 1.5% transfer acceptance rate Princeton accepted 35 students out of 1,201 applications or 2.9% transfer acceptance rate Brown accepted 114 students out of 2,744 applications or 4.1% transfer acceptance rate U Penn accepted 178 students out of 3,885 applications or 4.5% transfer acceptance rate Columbia accepted 329 students out of 3,254 applications or 10.1% transfer acceptance rate Cornell accepted 834 students out of 6,581 applications or 12.6% transfer acceptance rate The Ivy Head Coaches and many of the potential student athlete transfers know these stats very well. The prospective transfer athlete has a far better chance of acceptance at Brown, U Penn, Columbia or Cornell. It will be interesting to see if NIL impact on Ivy athlete transfers out to other conferences eventually impacts these stats down the road.

Whatever the overall transfer number, a school has to be willing to take athletic transfers. And regardless of the numbers at H at the time, google "'Clifton Dawson' Harvard." It does not take many to make a difference, as few as one. Not just at Harvard of course. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

The League may not be able to draw in transfers of the caliber of a Dawson and his like. But to impact Ivy titles today, I don’t think you need to. Some good players might be interested in such a transfer and can help a team even if not quite the caliber of the past. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
