<p>You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.</p>
<p>Honestly, JHS is exactly right: it is a silly question. You’re obviously hell-bent on trying to transfer to Harvard, so what does it matter? If it’s so incredibly important to you that you go to Harvard instead of some peer institution, taking a semester of Expos shouldn’t dissuade you. And if being required to take a semester of Expos would be enough to dissuade you, then the uphill battle to win admission as a transfer seems kind of excessive.</p>
<p>And swingtime is right that it is ill-considered and counterproductive to enter a world-class university already planning your exit strategy.</p>
<p>But you clearly don’t want to consider what these very sensible posters have to say. Maybe it’s an indication that you really do belong at Harvard. You could live out the old saying, “You can always tell a Harvard man…but you can’t tell him much.”</p>
