<p>First, read this <a href="http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2008/03/21/harvard_will_not_accept_transfers_for_2_years/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2008/03/21/harvard_will_not_accept_transfers_for_2_years/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>"The moratorium is for the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 academic years."</p>

<p>I start Community college in the fall as a freshman</p>

<p>so is my first year 08-09 and second year 09-10?</p>

<p>so would this rule affect me if I tried to transfer to Harvard?</p>

<p>since I need to finish 2 years.</p>

<p>also when they say transfer do they mean you can transfer from a community college to Harvard?</p>

<p>I want to try!</p>

<p>i believe you would be able to. but it was very hard before this whole thing, and i can’t imagine it getting much easier once/if they reinstate it</p>

3

<p>Dont count on them to keep their word. There’s a good chance Harvard will indefinitely follow Princeton’s transfer policy.</p>

4

<p>yes your years were right, it would be the fall 2010 spring 2011 school year (lol that seems so far away)</p>

5

<p>dont hold your breath. Harvard is looking to follow princeton’s no transfer policy</p>

6

<p>Yes I agree with you it seems obvious that two terms later they will say the same thing.</p>

<p>Initialy I had no faith in transfering to Harvard from a cc, I mostly saw it as either straight from high school or a university.</p>

<p>You can certainly apply if they are open to transfers when you will be an entering junior.</p>

<p>However do not fall into the trap of obsessing about Harvard. There are numerous other excellent schools, as I am sure you know. Ones that are far more likely to accept you (or anyone) as a transfer. Obsess about those. Then throw in Harvard if you feel you must.</p>

8

<p>Very true I am actually obsessed about Berkeley which I am confident in but I just want to give Harvard a shot.</p>

9

<p>Well, if you are obsessed about Berkeley, I hope that you are a California resident planning to attend a ccc. Then, you have a reasonably sensible obsessions ;).</p>

<p>Correct and it’s for Haas.</p>
