<p>...after community college? Here is your answer:
"To be considered by the Committee on Transfer Admissions, potential transfers must have spent between one and two years at another four-year istitution. "</p>

<p>I wonder, then, how two students from community college were admitted last year...</p>
<p>You think I made that up? </p>
<p>I don't know how they did and if they did and where you read it, I just know that if one is to do enough searches here, one is to find people that were accepted but decide on other schools and even one person supposedly decided to stay at her school. About the girl that went to Duke while accepted in Harvard - I really wonder WHY DOESN'T HARVARD'S WEB SITE SAYS 55 OUT OF 55 MATRICULATE.
Rest my case.</p>

It was a fluke or they simply lied on the CC board. Did they end up enrolling elsewhere?

<p>It does not matter whether it was a fluke, for it still refutes the statment you posted.</p>
<p>At any rate, I stand corrected, since only one was admitted last year:</p>

Over the last several years, about one in 50 Harvard transfers has come from a community college (about one per year), and they tend to have extraordinary achievements even as Harvard transfers go, which is saying something. Of the two that I knew best, one was a URM Marine unit commander who had led several overseas combat missions before starting college; the other was an 18-year-old Russian immigrant with a photographic memory who had made a 4.0 at her community college despite knowing no English when she started at age 16.

<p>I din't make a statement, I posted a quote. Now I can make a statement though - if you are from a CC and you are not a hero or a genius, forget it.
Still if you read the next post you will realize that it comes from a book.

Hmmm. I read it in "A Is for Admission." It may have just been Dartmouth. Who cares?</p>
<p>Apply wherever you're from... you might get in.

<p>The Crimson mentions many schools but no CC, and it makes the statement that I posted in #1.
Yaleherald anounces people from CC. Why wouldn't the Crimson?
Whats your comeback on the girl that turned Harvard down? 55 out of 55 man.</p>

bend the numbers and show us that things posted at CC are not just anonymous messages full of ...? Lies?

<p>Do you even know who Hanna is?</p>
<p>I am beginning to realize who she might be and that is why I changed my post. I asked her once if she is an adcom and she didn't answer.
For lies I mostly considered statements from people who said that they were accepted when it is clear that they weren't. Ask the soap opera girl on your facebook.</p>
<p>Most of the quotes you posted from me I changed within a minute or two because I realized that they were not what I wanted to say. Quote the ones that remain.</p>

<p>You can rest whatever you want; the girl is on my facebook as a Duke student. Given Duke's atrociously low admit rates last year, I am not at all surprised she was admitted at Harvard.</p>
<p>She was also waitlisted at Brown.</p>
<p>Maybe you are right. I wish you would delete the last quote from me that you posted. When I saw the multiple errors in that sentence it was too late to edit.</p>

<p>deym idk, that looks like rock solid evidence. if stats for that year show 100% matriculation from acceptances i'd say whoever said they got into Harvard and chose not to is bs. </p>
<p>but hey, u wouldn't have to go all the way to Harvard's website to prolly figure that out rite?</p>
<p>The girl did incessantly talk about how obsessed she was with Harvard prior to decisions... odd that she would have a sudden change of heart.</p>

<p>I have spoken to her about admissions to Harvard on previous occasions, and believe me, she has no reason to lie. I wish I could say why, but I would rather her come here and post it herself.</p>
<p>What is very odd is that nowhere on Harvard's site does it state that they accepted and matriculated 55 students last year:</p>

This year 75 students were admitted from over 1,000 applicants.

</p>
<p>Indeed, I recall speaking to an admissions officer at Harvard and her telling me that they actually admitted 79.</p>
<p>I am tempted to vituperate over the intellectual stupidity (an apparent oxymoron?) exuded by some posters in this thread.</p>
<p>nspeds, I was about to state that I could find no such statement on the Harvard website either; only what you found. Perhaps martini was reading something from a previous year?</p>
<p>i dont know why u guys are spending so much energy on harvard, they accept like less than 5 percent of transfers</p>
<p>3 percent could be athletes...</p>
<p>It is a means of procrastination.</p>
<p>75 people were accepted for the Fall of 2004. Harvard did not accept 75 students two years in a row.</p>
<p>I remember that article from last year. </p>
<p>I liked Grinnell College, she said, but if I want to go back to Thailand for work, name recognition is important for getting career opportunities there.</p>
<p>"Middlebury was out in the middle of nowhere"</p>
<p>It always amazes me that they stress having a compelling reason for transfer -- and the ones who do get in, well, you see.</p>

<p>There is nothing stipulating that this cannot occur again. Also, the number I was told was '79,' and even if you choose not to believe it, you still have not provided evidence that only 55 students were admitted last year.</p>

The number of undergraduate transfer students has climbed to 75 this year, rising more than 100 percent since the 2002-2003 academic year.</p>
<p>The College admitted 45 to 55 transfer students last year and 35 the previous year, according to Director of Admissions Marlyn McGrath Lewis 70-73.

<p>Sorry, martin, but this time I will have to trust the Harvard admissions website and the adcom to whom I spoke, rather than your specious reasoning.</p>
<p>The info on the website is of course trustworthy, but I think that it is for 2004... unless:
1. two years in a row Harvard's admission rates > or = Stanford admission rates
2. LULU ZHOU majored in clairvoyance at Harvard (remember Thomas Jane in Dreamcatcher)</p>
<p>I am looking for any type of evidence right now... You know that typically I trust your info big time... it's just that 79 is a nuber that nobody has mentioned before.</p>
