It’s interesting that some of the transfers in the article came from UPenn and Georgetown. I can understand why Harvard would accept an athlete transfer or a transfer from West Point, but the reasons listed in the article for the transfers from Georgetown and Penn don’t seem all that compelling to me. For example, I wasn’t aware that Harvard’s jazz music scene was so superior to Penn’s that it was deemed a worthy reason to transfer by admissions. I wonder if there is more to the story for those two people.
