<p>Hello everyone. I'm thinking about applying to a Graduate Business school in a few years.</p>
<p>I applied to Harvard undergrad this year and got waitlisted (and then rejected). </p>
<p>Just wondering if I get a slight boost because I think on the app it asked if you applied before...</p>
<p>If you can improve your freestyle kicking abilities they might just recruit you.</p>
<p>^^haha. Seriously, does anybody know or have an idea? I mean after 4 years</p>
<p>No, because HBS admissions and financial aid is totally separate than that of Harvard College.</p>
<p>hmm... ok. So what if I transfer next year? Not that I'm going to or anything. Does it give me an above average shot? Just curious</p>
<p>Maybe. Transfer admissions is very difficult. Hanna would be wonderful person to ask, as she transferred from Bryn Mawr College. You need to be at the top of your class (3.8+ GPA in college), as well as a compelling reason why you want to transfer to Harvard. Most newTs (new transfers) come from already highly selective colleges such as UPenn, Brown, WUSTL, etc. </p>
<p>Transfer admissions rate lies at just about 5%, while freshman admissions is about 9%.</p>
<p>Being a Harvard undergraduate is an advantage in HBS admissions for one reason. Harvard College (senior year) applicants to HBS are notified at an earlier date of their application status- meaning that HBS hints them wheter they are likely to be admitted or not-- to give the College's seniors a planning advantage over their peer applicants from other institutions.</p>
