<p>I'll keep this short and simple. I want to go to Harvard University, knowing that the school is obviously hard to get into. I questioned if there was an easier way of getting into the school. Can't I just go to a university for one year, and then transfer, and or go to another university for 4 years, and apply for the graduate program like that? The Undergraduate admissions are really tough. It's also a lottery, so my chances are pretty low -- as for everyone else. But seriously, should I aim for the graduate program, or transfer after my first year in another college. I want to know how these work, and if so it is a good idea to undertake. I know Obama went to Harvard without even taking honors, but even he probably had factors like recommendations -- but geez still!</p>
<p>What are your goals in life? Transferring in to Harvard is close to impossible.</p>
<p>HBS and HLS are really hard to get in to as well. However, Education and Kennedy are grad schools that are easier to get in to.</p>
<p>Oh, and there’s the Extension school. That might be the perfect fit for you. Anyone can go there.</p>
<p>Well, I recently came to the conclusion that I’d be the president of the united states. But please go in dept with your explanation my good man. I’d like to know what an extension school is, and will I receive the same credibility for going to harvard as anyone us, thus graduating with the same class … and why is it hard to transfer to harvard. Please and thank you. @purpletitan</p>
<p>Do your own research. Google is a wonderful thing.</p>
<p>Also, what are you? 12 years old?</p>
<p>Based on my writing, and amount of knowledge and insights I am asking for, you can conclude that I am not a 12 year old … a mere assumption that doesn’t seem logical, but whatever floats your boat. Also, I am here to gain insights, not from google, for that if I did go on google, I wouldn’t be on here now would I? Come on now, I would figure that you were a little smarter than that 
@purpletitan</p>
<p>Actually, based on what you have said, I would be more forgiving if you <em>were</em> 12.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Harvard doesn’t accept transfers. There may be some extremely unusual cases where a transfer might be accepted, such as maybe the football team needs a new quarterback or a newly-hired dept chair’s child needs to transfer in and that is part of the negotiated agreement. However, in your case, just a regular person trying to transfer in, you wouldn’t be accepted. </p>
