<p>Whom should I stay in touch with if I am applying as a Transfer? The Harvard site just limits it to a common undergrad admissions email unlike Upenn where you have an admissions counsellor whereby you can maintain a constant contact with the officers and view updates</p>
<p>harvard is very tight lipped with this info, and it changes from year to year.</p>
<p>last year when i was applying i tried to find out my officer but they would not disclose the info to me.</p>
<p>the only way to find out is if you have some kind of connection, e.g. if you happen to have come from a very prestigious high school that feeds harvard, try asking your hs guidance counselor, its likely that he or she will have a contact or two in admissions who might help you find out who your transfer admissions officer is.</p>
<p>E-mail the admissions office if you have a legitimate concern. If not, you really don’t need to keep regular correspondence with an admissions officer. I think that’s a common misconception. However, I will admit that Harvard does respond favourably in transfer admissions to demonstrated interest <em>as shown in your application</em>. The admissions officers want to know why you should be at Harvard, and they want a good, credible academic reason. Visiting the campus and keeping in cahoots with an admissions officer might do little to help you.</p>
