I’m starting two years in a community college and planning, hopefully, to transfer to Harvard university.
I’m majoring in computer science, and when I met with my counselor she couldn’t tell me exactly what they are looking for and what classes I should take in order to be eligible to transfer to that specific university. Does anyone know what exactly or even a general idea? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Check the Harvard website. From what I understand though, transferring to Harvard is even harder than getting in as a Freshman. Perhaps you should look at several more options.
Why did you attend CC vs. a 4 year school?
Why not look first at transferring to your State U where they will take most of your credits?
Why do you think you are Harvard Material?
Unless you have a very unique story and are a genius, find another path. Out of 1500 transfer applicants, they accepted 12. A 1% acceptance rate.
Transfer to your State U and be awesome there.
And if you are an international student as your name implies then your miniscule chance of acceptance at Harvard is even smaller.
Realistic Harvard transfer applicants are top recruited transferring athletes or students who, as HS seniors, turned down offers to attend schools like Harvard. Basically, you already were admitted to super selective schools. If this doesn’t describe you, please follow bopper’s advice.
