<p>Your SAT is on the low end of the spectrum for both schools. It’s extremely difficult to get in as a transfer. You might want to try the Transfer Students forum. You’ll get more advice specifically about the transfer process there.</p>

<p>There are plenty of lower-caliber yet nontheless great schools that would accept you. Harvard is not going to accept you as a transfer, I’m telling you from now: transferring to Ivies is ridiculously difficult. Your chances for Georgetown are also very slim.</p>

<p>Aim a little lower. There are several top-40 universities that would most likely accept you. I know that Harvard and Georgetown may seem attractive because of the prestige and such, but you need to be realistic about which schools will and won’t accept you.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>

<p>Zero chance at Harvard (and BTW, they do take transfers) but you don’t appear to have a hook and your SAT is low for them.</p>

<p>Gtown is very difficult to predict, but I think you are a very long shot for them.</p>

<p>Harvard does take transfers again, they took 12 this year. </p>

<p>You are a transfer once you’ve gone to any college whether you want to transfer credits or not.</p>

<p>I would not say no chance, colleges do like to take a few transfers from CCs and few CC students have a 2100, but more and more do as colleges become more out of reach.</p>

<p>Top colleges are worth a try, but do have a range of schools.</p>
