Year-to-year variability in college yield rates and retention rates can make applying for transfer an unpredictable endeavor; however, some selective colleges are consistently transfer-friendly. Transfer-friendly colleges admit a relatively high percentage of transfer applicants, and occasionally have transfer acceptance rates that are higher than acceptance rates for the freshman applicant pool.

College students earning excellent freshman-year and/or sophomore-year grades and who can effectively articulate their reasons for wanting to transfer may have a decent chance of earning admission at the following competitive and transfer-friendly colleges:
