<p>would you compare transfering from a community college to a schoo like ucla or berkeley (meaning its not too hard) with going to grad school at harvard from those schools?</p>
<p>what i mean is if i can transfer to a school like berkeley from a ccc can i get into harvard from there as easily?</p>
<p>if i was able to transfer from my community college to harvard, i would pretty much have no chance, but if i went to berkeley and finished school there and applied to harvard for business school...is that easy?</p>
<p>Harvard recently suspended transfer admissions for the next two years, so that wouldn't be possible until the fall of 2010 at the earliest. But Harvard also doesn't offer business at the undergraduate level, only econ. Their undergraduate curriculum is intentionally non-pre-professional.</p>
<p>You could graduate from Berkeley and then apply to Harvard's MBA program. Be aware though that they prefer you to work a few years in business first.</p>
<p>If you can transfer to Berkeley from your cc, that would probably be a good move.</p>
<p>Where you go from there depends on your performance at Berkeley and your interests. You can't get into Harvard Business School "easily" from anywhere -- Berkeley, Yale, MIT, Duke, Podunk State. It takes a bunch of things: good performance in college, good performance on the GMATs, business/organizational experience, good recommendations, luck. And that's true for the other top business schools as well. Harvard isn't the be-all and end-all of MBA programs; there are a number of excellent ones. Berkeley will offer you the opportunity to be as well prepared as anyone to apply to them -- but it will be up to you to make the most of that opportunity.</p>
