<p>What do you think my transfer chances are?</p>
<p>I think you need to ask the people at your university who would be helping you with this process. I don’t know. But why do you want to transfer to Harvard? If you don’t have very specific reasons for why Harvard, rather than Yale or any other colleges, I think your chances will diminish a lot from whatever they would be otherwise.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input. My main reasons for transferring are academic. So far, I have spent hours of my time in classes that are useless. I created my own major and I was able to select every single class I took but nothing seems to challenge me or interest me especially since most of my classes are over 50-100 students. Also, I am highly interested in entrepreneurship and my state school is nothing more than a factory that produces degrees for students who are willing to put up with boring and pointless courses. I want to be at a school where my academic and intellectual growth is valued and I am more than just a number. I know that Harvard is known for its excellent academics and attention to fostering a good academic atmosphere. I definitely understand what you are saying though because I dont know if I am 100% set on Harvard for transfer. I will be applying to Columbia, Yale, Georgetown, Stanford, NYU, UPenn and Cornell as well. What do you think my overall chances are as a transfer applicant? Thanks.</p>
