Harvard Grad School Problem

Applying to College
1

<p>I am attending a no-name state college and I am 1.5 courses away from finishing a master's degree in math. It is difficult for me to find a job with a math major; I went to career fairs but no luck. I applied to Harvard's XXX (not stating for privacy) master's program as a backup. I was thrilled to have been accepted.</p>

<p>However, I was accepted to start in the Fall07 and I am not allowed to defer my admission. I was planning on finishing my master's in math by taking a 1.5 credit class in the Fall07 at the state college while starting my master's in XXX at Harvard at the same time.</p>

<p>But on the Harvard website, it states "No student registered in GSAS shall, at the same time, be registered in any school or college either of Harvard University or of any other institution." </p>

<p>I put a lot of hard work into my state college master's degree and I really want to finish it (just have one class left), but I also don't want to lose my chance at Harvard. If I enroll at Harvard and the state college at the same time, how will Harvard find out? And if they do find out, will I get kicked out of both Harvard and the state school, and be left with no degree in the end?</p>

<p>I am no particular expert on this issue, but I would talk to the Deans of the schools and try to explain the situation to them... I would not risk Harvard finding out about your state school if it is state explicitly on their website about the dual enrollment, if they find out, you may be expelled for dishonesty or whatnot... just give them a call and see what they say... you might have to choose between Harvard and State school...</p>
