<p>Another wrinkle about transferring (besides the need for doing very well at School #1) is that sometimes the number of transfer students that School #2 accepts may differ from year to year and could be very small in the year OP’s son is transferring. For example, I believe that Harvard hasn’t accepted transfers for the last 2 years.</p>
