<p>This isn’t a matter of opinion – nspeds is correct as a matter of fact. A large majority of Harvard transfers from domestic colleges come from other excellent schools. Over the last 5-7 years, the major feeders to the Harvard transfer program have included Deep Springs, Stanford, MIT, Wellesley, Cornell, Dartmouth, Georgetown, Penn, and Caltech.</p>
<p>Over the last several years, about one in 50 Harvard transfers has come from a community college (about one per year), and they tend to have extraordinary achievements even as Harvard transfers go, which is saying something. Of the two that I knew best, one was a URM Marine unit commander who had led several overseas combat missions before starting college; the other was an 18-year-old Russian immigrant with a photographic memory who had made a 4.0 at her community college despite knowing no English when she started at age 16.</p>
