<p>NON-TRAD TRANSFER INQUIRY:</p>

<p>I will be taking Harvard Extension School (HES) classes this fall. My goal is to excel at HES, and Transfer to a 4 yr school that offers a competitive degree for a career in Business/Marketing. What I am attempting is similar to 'Trading Up' from Community College, though a high GPA at HES may put me in a different ballpark. As I go ahead with this plan, I am looking for info/advice that will help me determine which Schools are realistic and which are not. Schools that I have (briefly) looked into include: Babson, Emerson, Umass, Tufts, Northeastern, and NYU.</p>

<p>I feel UNINFORMED about the Potential Schools. Many of them review transfer applications on a ''case by case basis." What other schools with business/marketing programs (for transfer students) are out there?</p>

<p>I am interested to learn of how others HAVE SUCCEED IN "GETTING IN" to a Selective College as a TRANSFER STUDENT, especially in NON-TRADITIONAL circumstances such as these.</p>

<p>About ME: 24yr old 'late bloomer', w/ abominable HS transcript, and 23 ACT, working for 6 yrs, and determined to get a degree & succeed in the world of business. </p>

<p>About HES: A Division of Continuing Education at Harvard University which has an ALB degree granting program. HES courses are rigorous, held at night, and often taught by Harvard Professors.</p>
