harvard and yale both require that a student must not have more than 2 years of transferrable credit in order to be eligible as a transfer student.

how many credits is the maximum that i should have, then?

in the university i am currently attending, where i am an incoming sophomore, we are required to have 128 credits to graduate, so 1 year=32 credits (128 divided by 4). each class is worth 3 credits.

does this mean that by the end of my sophomore year, I should have a maximum of 64 credits in order to be eligible for transfer to harvard/yale?

Yes. Though if you take extra classes your second year (i.e. more than 32 credits), it wouldn't make you illegible. However, only 64 credits would transfer if you get in.

"it wouldn't make you illegible"

people could still read the person? lol

Lol...wow. That was a bad typo. I'm embarrassed now. I meant ineligible, not 'illegible.' That's what happens when you type too fast. (And of course, spell check doesn't catch words that are otherwise spelled correctly... )
