Transfer Ranking - Part 2

We are continuing to get kudos for our transfer students. Inside Higher Ed today has a piece on transfers noting that the general rule is that the more "competitive" the institution, the fewer transfers it takes. But UC is noted as an exception:

...The University of California System (across all undergraduate campuses) admitted 28,750 transfer students in 2018. That may still be far fewer than the 137,000 freshmen admitted over all, but the percentage of new students coming in as transfers is far higher than the percentages at elite privates (and many other publics)...
