<p>It’s certainly possible, you’ll be competing against hundreds of other transfer students as well though.
I wish you the best of luck and if you somehow are lucky and get accepted next fall, maybe I’ll be there with you in 2015.
Good luck!</p>

<p><a href=“Transfer Applicants | Harvard”>https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/application-process/transferring-harvard-college/transfer-eligibility&lt;/a&gt; indicates that Harvard admits about 12 out of 1,600 transfer applicants per year.</p>

<p>Nothing specific is mentioned about community colleges. But articles in the Harvard Crimson about transfer students only seem to have examples of students who transferred from other four year schools.</p>

<p>Stanford, on the other hand, seems to be slightly more transfer-friendly, and admits about half of its transfers from community colleges: <a href=“Transfer student experience offers rewards, challenges”>http://www.stanforddaily.com/2013/09/17/transfer-student-experience-offers-rewards-challenges/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Realistically, the most transfer-friendly schools are likely your in-state public universities, which are likely to have pre-made course equivalency lists with your community college:</p>

<p>“12 out of 1,600 transfer applicants per year.” And invariably, these twelve are the sort that were accepted by Harvard or equally selective schools when they were applying as HS seniors but chose to go elsewhere. The honest answer to your query is: NO.</p>
