<p>So how is transferring from Extension School to the College such a longshot possibility?</p>
<br>
<p>It is a long shot because the college admitted zero transfers from the Extension School between 1997 and 2002. Maybe that's changed drastically in the last three years, but I don't think that it has. </p>
<p>It seems that you're trying to make a point about how things OUGHT to be, and I am just telling you how they ARE. Ability to pass Harvard College classes has very little to do with admission to the college, especially as a transfer; the overwhelming majority of applicants could pass the classes. They only admit about 50 transfers each year out of ~1200 applicants. They prefer to use those spots to take star students from MIT, Wellesley, Georgetown etc. rather than community college or HES students. Whether this policy is wise or unwise, it is the reality that you should be aware of as a prospective HES student.</p>
