<p>Hello all, </p>
<p>Ive got a question specifically targeted for Harvard (undergrad), Wharton @ Upenn and Stanford. My situation is pretty unique and as such I will really appreciate responses from those who have extensive experience with the colleges above or any ivies/ reputable non-ivies.
This question is mostly for Harvards (and other schools) 60 credit, 2 year requirement to transfer to undergrad as a junior. </p>
<p>I am currently attending CC full time and am wrapping up my first year, to apply as a transfer next year in March. My main problem is that I am a non-traditional student who already attended a different private college when I graduated high school 8 years ago. Needless to say, I could not remain at said school because of many issues, namely immigration. I became depressed and the school was unable to help (again because of immi problems). My grades started slacking and I eventually dropped out after 3 semesters. </p>
<p>Now I am in school again, full time with a different course of study. I will apply to many programs for non-traditionals (@ Columbia, Brown, etc..) but also wanted to apply to Harvard just for the sake of it. Contacted them and they say they have no age limit to apply for their undergrad. </p>
<p>I just want to know from those with experience if those credits from that other college 8 years ago (now on my transcript) will nullify my chances to get in. Harvard only has like 16 spots per year FOR THE WHOLE COLLEGE for CC transfers (They confirmed this to me). I dont know if there are any statutes for those with extenuating circumstances etc... that can help one get in. I know the odds are greater than winning the Powerball and only want to try it out. This time around, I simply want to leave no stone unturned.</p>
