Can I avoid listing previous college experience on an app? Also, chances at HYPS?

<p>You have no chance to those schools for Graduate school Top-tier schools like Harvard and other (e.g. Princeton) do not accept transfer applicants. Not sure about P but Harvard doesn’t for sure. Also those who do like Cornell only accept a very slim amount of applicants and the standards are usually much higher than HS students; the exception would be if you had super-intense horrible times in your life which I am not sure of. If you have such as a parent or other family member having cancer I think you have a low but fair chance as long as you have exceptional grades and talents. </p>

<p>I would like to add that if you have had such a poor academic past you will die at HYPS or any other top-tier university whenever you are under-going problems; it is not like those times will not come back or maybe even harder! Consider state universities reaches; because U Chicago def isn’t.</p>

<p>Anyway as I said if you really had suc though times like deaths or disease or maybe even something worse! it is understandable.
Goodluck in your endeavors and sorry for probly repeating so many things. goodluck.</p>
