Transferring to Harvard

<br>


<br>

<p>Untrue. Far and away the most important thing is your record at your first school -- how challenging it was, and how close to perfect your grades were. No one has a "great chance" before they have a college GPA. You don't have any kind of prayer without great grades, no matter what you say in your essay. Do not even think about transferring the first semester -- you should be focused on making a good life for yourself at Emory, because you may be staying there. If you are still unhappy in January, that's the time to begin thinking about transferring -- and if you have a 3.7 or above, the time to consider Harvard as an option.</p>
