<p>heyy guys… i was just wondering… what are the chances of being accepted as a transfer student to harvard?</p>

<p>i feel that my senior grades are horrible and i pretty much have no chance right now, but harvard’s always been my dream school </p>

<p>soooo i was thinking of just going somewhere for first semester and then applying as a transfer student to harvard? is that possible?</p>

<p>If you apply at semester, you’ll have to do so as a freshman and won’t be able to bring in any credits from that semester.</p>

<p>You must have completed one year but not more than two years of college credits to be admitted as a transfer.</p>

<p>And most schools–not sure about Harvard–will also look at your high school credentials if you have less than two years of college work.</p>

<p>It is harder to transfer to Harvard than to be admitted as a h.s. senior. Most Harvard students graduate from Harvard in 4 years, which means there isn’t much space for transfers.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how much weight hs grades count vs college for rising freshmen?</p>

<p>Well they probably factor in what college you went to as well…if you transfer from the local CC with a 4.0 and someone else transfers from NYU with a 4.0 and everything else is equal, guess who will get in?</p>

<p>And 75 out of over 1000 applicants got in last year.</p>

<p>I feel like I’m being more negative than helpful. But that’s not my intentions, just letting you know what to maybe expect.</p>
