<p>Thanks for the responses. I see from the data list that the chances of transferring in are extremely slim.</p>
<p>Here’s the problem: my 16-year-old younger brother exhausted all math/science/technology courses at his high school midway through his sophomore year. He took both AP courses and all the regular courses early on because he had been taking high school math classes throughout middle school. After finishing with the high school’s offerings he began taking physics and chemistry classes at the university for fun. </p>
<p>Now however, he’s faced with a dilemma: if he takes any more college courses he will have enough credit to classify him as a sophomore when he applies to college - and as you pointed out above, the chances of getting in as a sophomore transfer are dramatically worse. He has been fixated on MIT since visiting the campus on a class trip and does not want to do anything to compromise his chances of being accepted.</p>
<p>At the same time, though, there are no more classes he can take at his school, so if he can’t take classes at the university he will not have any math/science classes on his schedule for next year. This would be a serious problem for him since he says those are the only ones he truly loves.</p>
<p>Could he keep taking the college classes but ask MIT not to transfer the credit when he applies, in order to qualify as a freshman applicant? Has anyone else ever had this problem?</p>
<p>When he started signing himself up for college classes two years ago no one even considered this situation.</p>
