Hello!
I’ve been considering sending in a transfer application to Harvard or MIT. I’m from the UK and I’m studying at a UK university that sits in the QS world top 10 as a first year undergraduate student. I don’t have any GPA yet because I’m still in my first term.
I really want to work in the US at a top tech company after I graduate. I didn’t apply to MIT originally because I didn’t believe that it could be an option to me.
I did perform really well in high school, achieving 5 A-Levels and won an award from my school as a result. One of these was self-taught and I was the only person at my school to take 5 A-Levels. I was always active with my interest in computers. When I was 12 and 13, I started a web hosting business with international friends and I ran a social network for my town. However, I’ve heard a lot about MIT transfer students winning awards internationally and having other outstanding achievements. For this reason, I do not think it is reasonable for me to apply but would like to hear what other people think first.
