“Typically” probably means “the majority of the time” but you should call Harvard Admissions for a clarification.

My personal guess is that “typically” a freshman or sophomore year student does not yet have the requirements Harvard deems necessary for the Visiting Scholars program. Namely: (a) evidence of academic strength in their current program of study, and (b) not enough intro level and advanced courses at their current school to warrant preparation for their proposed plan of study at Harvard. But again, you should call Harvard, as I’m sure this is handled on a case-by-case basis.
