<p>Jeunatics:"shucks! i realized there are three mistakes (not fatal mistakes, but quite important) in my entire app, all at different places.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>should i send an email to harvard to request to make changes to the app, or would this only bug them further?</p></li>
<li><p>if so, whom should i send the email to?</p></li>
<li><p>by when should i send in the appropriate documents?"</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Don't worry. E-mail the changes to <a href="mailto:adm-tran@fas.harvard.edu">adm-tran@fas.harvard.edu</a>.</p>

<p>Good luck all you guys on your application.</p>

<p>I've submitted mine too, and I decided not to care about it till the results</p>

<p>are out.</p>

163

<p>are admissions rolling?</p>

164

<p>no, they are not.</p>

165

<p>Did you arrange to have your HS transcript sent directly to the admissions office? I didn't because the instructions states: "An official high school transcript and official test results must accompany the transfer application and supplement or be sent to the office of transfer admissions."</p>

166

<p>I had my GED scores sent separately because I was home schooled.</p>

167

<p>is everyone here a soph xfer?</p>

168

<p>no, i'm a junior transfer :)</p>

169

<p>it's harder to get in as a soph transfer, right? how many spots are alloted for each class?</p>

170

<p>i'm a junior transfer</p>

171

<p>does anyone know how to check your credentials with the admissions office to make sure they've received everything? can this be done online, or is there a number to call?</p>

<p>In transfer admissions, do sophs. compete with sophs. and juniors w/ juniors, or does everyone compete in one large applicant pool?</p>

174

<p>Hey everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself! I'm also applying to Harvard for Fall 2008 Transfer!</p>

<p>Currently at Yale
4.0 GPA
2380 SAT
800, 800, 780 SAT IIs</p>

<p>I want to transfer because I NEED To be in a large city!</p>

175

<p>Harvard isn't exactly in a large city, though Cambridge is located just across the Charles River from Boston.</p>

176

<p>Harvard is literally minutes away from Boston, and Cam. is much nicer than New Haven!</p>

177

<p>whats your reason for xfer elijah, jus big city?</p>

178

<p>Well, in a word, yes. I enjoy Yale, but I just cannot stand not having easy access to a large city. Parts of New Haven are nice, but it is just too small! I belive that I will be much happier in a place that is very close to a large, cosmopolitan place.</p>

179

<p>are you only applying to harvard? i think they prefer an "Academic" reason, not reasons like that. not to disparage you though; your stats are probably the top .01% of the applicant pool.</p>

<p>Elijah- I thought you were at a large state univ i think i read it somewhere... i might be wrong, tho..</p>
