<p>Hey all, so I'm thinking about sending in an application for Harvard for transferring this next fall. I have solid grades so far in college (~3.88ish) at two solid schools, UCLA and now Cornell. I actually just transferred to Cornell this spring. Anyway, I'd like some feedback on what my chances might be. I consider myself to be a 'normal' applicant, at least as far as Harvard applicants go, but I have a legacy (my dad, both undergrad and law school). How much of a role do legacies play in Harvard transfer admissions? I have some ECs apart from this, but nothing spectacular and few things volunteering. Any insight is appreciated.</p>
<p>You just transferred to Cornell. Spring term classes haven't even started. And you're already looking to transfer again? What gives?</p>
<p>I think I see why he wants to transfer. Going from ivy to the top ivy is substantially easier than going from, say, a state school to the top ivy. Cornell was probably just a stepping stone. </p>
<p>No idea about your chances. Transfer app doesn't even ask about legacy as far as I know.</p>
