If you're going to post a cut and pasted version of virtually the same question on a bunch of different boards, at least have the courtesy to proof read it so you don't ask the Harvard board why we chose cornell...

You have to understand that even if you were able to transfer from a community college, what makes you think Harvard will choose you over someone just as qualified as you transfering from UC Berkeley, UCLA, or anywhere else in that matter?

Dude get real, and this is not a situation where you can say I can work my hardest and dedicate my life into it, because even if you do, who says your qualified?

I've been in your situation and you really should obsess over a school you can get into.

Hey, maybe as a graduate? now there's a possibility.

Best of luck to you!

AdamantineX, "I've been in your situation and you really should obsess over a school you can get into."

Are you serious?

Im just telling him to not think about it too much because I was there.
