Samuel Merritt University's wait list acceptance rates are currently unreported, as both the number of students offered a place on the wait list and the number accepted are unspecified. Historical data for the past four application years also shows no admissions from the wait list, indicating a lack of transparency or movement within their wait list process.

Samuel Merritt University has not provided specific transfer acceptance rate data for any recent application years, including 2020 through 2023.

Additionally, the average GPA for transfer applicants has not been disclosed, leaving further insight into the academic profile of potential transfers unavailable.
