<p>I think it’s definitely possible, but I’m not sure if it would drastically change the result of the decision–if you scored the internship, the reason should show through your transfer application. If you’re waitlisted, it might tip you over the edge when they’re reviewing the updates more thoroughly. But if the internship is as prestigious as you say it is (I wouldn’t know), I have a hard time believing Harvard would reject you. Send it in–it can’t hurt. </p>
<p>Although I do doubt that a prof at Cornell would come out and make such a huge blanket statement about accepting students who’ve done this internship…</p>
