Still, don’t transfer. There’s correlation, and then there’s causation.

Economist (and Princeton professor) Alan Blinder did a study of students who got into Princeton but went to Penn State instead. They ended up just as well off financially.

In other words, I think that if you’re good enough to transfer to Harvard, you don’t need to.
