<p>Last year I've read at Harvard's website that when you begin college somewhere else you aren't eligible to apply for freshman; that you should apply as a transfer student. However, Harvard's website today says that (in the Transfer Program eligibility part) :</p>
<p>" Students who will have completed less than one full-time continuous year of study at one college by the anticipated date of matriculation at Harvard should apply as freshman candidates. (All such applicants, if admitted, will matriculate as regular freshmen without any transfer credit.)"</p>
<p>Was there a change of policies? The same goes for Yale in their website. But in Princeton, they say:
If you have already started a college or university degree program elsewhere, you are not eligible to apply for admission to Princeton. We accept students who will begin their freshman year in the fall. Princeton does not offer spring semester entry or a transfer admission option.</p>
<p>Okay, so my real question is, could you still apply as a freshman candidate if you will have finished a full academic year of study prior to your matriculation to Harvard (or Yale)? I am an international applicant so the credits obtained from college here wouldn't do for transfer (I think). Thanks for the reply.</p>
