<p>Would you say it'd be easier?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Uh oh. :eek:</p>
<p>^ Of all the people. </p>
<p>I’m thinking about it for personal reasons. Nothing to do with academics or prestige. And again, just thinking about it.</p>
<p>^<em>cackles wickedly</em>
I could say the same for you.</p>
<p>My .02$. I know little about transferring, but I’m fairly sure (someone correct me if I’m wrong) that although Harvard received transfer applications they didn’t accept any last year.
However, I think you would have a slight advantage in the pool since you have been deemed capable by another similar school. You’d have to give a very good reason though since the what can be achieved at one school can be similarly done at the other.</p>
<p>“This year the Committee will admit a small number of transfer students who present a clearly defined academic need for transfer, supported by both a proven record of achievement at the college level and strong faculty recommendations.” -Harvard</p>

<p>They let in 12-15 last year at about a 5% acceptance rate or something like that.</p>
<p>are you that unhappy about going to Stanford? you poor boy…</p>
<p>I would think that it would be HARDER for you to transfer from Stanford. This is because, you need to prove in your application that your need are not getting met at your present school i.e. you feel under-resourced or something similar. This is quite hard to prove while your current is school is of equal caliber. It is definitely possible, but harder than say someone transferring out of a community college or and international university after military service and the like…</p>
<p>IMO… :p</p>
