for 2023-24 Stanford admitted 67 transfers and enrolled 58, which is an increase from the recent past when the number was as you recalled ~25 (and in some year 10-15)

back in the day (when I transferred in) my class (class of '82, I transferred in fall of 1979) ended up with ~200 transfers in total so a little over 10% of total '82 undergraduates (~1800), most appeared to arrive between winter quarter of their frosh year (so yes one quarter elsewhere (so I'm guessing a "late" acceptance as a transfer) through the beginning of junior year).  I don't know what the transfer out rate was then.

The transfer numbers bounce around a lot, depending on a host of factors.  But I do wonder if the recent numbers are inflated due to trends in the number of transfer athletes admitted (football, of course, but women's basketball had two, and I am sure others did too).

Regardless, since athletes make up 12% of the student body, you would expect that proportionally you'd wind up with around 7/62 transfers being athletes.

the numbers above were transfers enrolling in Fall 2023 so would not include those enrolling in winter or spring and Taylor's 11 targets appear to be targeted for Jan enrollment so likely would not show up in the common data set as a transfer for either 2024-25 or 2025-26.  I would also guess that many transfer athletes enroll in summer quarter at the latest which would also seem to exclude them from being reported as transfers in the common data set
