<p>Recently, I have been admitted to Drew University in June 2014 and now, I have been at Drew for a couple of months. I have been pretty happy with the experience at Drew, except for the fact that I have been having this nagging feeling that I could do so much better academically elsewhere in the near future. Thinking back to the SAT's and all, the highest score I made was 1640, but I did not study at all or barely look at my Practice Book. So I always wonder if I could score more. I also, wanted to attend Harvard University as a first choice, but after getting my SAT's scores, I felt like a complete idiot to have such aspirations. So I let it go,,,</p>
<p>Then it came back, suddenly! I feel this new urge to do way much better and to take healthy risks in my education. I want to go to Harvard more than anything. I know they have the Visiting Undergraduate Program and I also know that even though I don't have a declared major, I'm a pretty good artist. Any ideas or suggestions to prove to Harvard, I'm worth the change?</p>
<p>Well, depend on how good you are at art. Do you have a true passion? If you do, as long as your grades and scores are good, you have a good shot. Since harvard like people with a passion, look at all the acceptances, they all say follow your passion and let that shine through in your essay. But let me warn you, transfer is very difficult, but if you think that you are truly passionate and your academics are at harvard level, then by all means apply.</p>
<p>So, is this just some pipe-dream? Or, do you have solid academic reasons that would convince Harvard that they should accept you? What do you want to study at Harvard? And, why can’t you get that from Drew? Those are questions only YOU can answer!</p>
<p>I don’t know much about transferring to Harvard, but you would not have a good chance with those SAT scores. Many sources talk about how well a person can do on the SAT or ACT without studying and the limits on how well they can do studying. Even if you had studied a lot for the SAT, you probably would not have gotten in. This should not make you feel bad. The people that get in to Harvard are really geniuses and the coursework there is really hard. Getting into a school does not mean you will be able to do very well there.</p>
FWIW: SAT/ACT scores for transfer applicants are not as important as they are for freshman applicants. What is more important to Admissions is your college transcript and course rigor.</p>
