<p>i currently attend mit but thinking of transferring to harvard next year. i was accepted to harvard btw. how likely will harvard accept me again?</p>
<p>Very likely. I'm not too familiar with the upper ranked schools, but considering you were accepted I wouldn't be too surprised if they accepted you for transfer.</p>
<p>Any particular reason you're transferring? I mean they're basically right down the street and rank very highly in their respective majors. Is it finaid? The atmosphere at Harvard isn't supposed to be as great as many would consider.</p>
<p>well its only been a few weeks so im still keeping my options open. mit is perfect for my major (mech. engineering and/or business/management) but im not liking the atmosphere and campus. in addition im not really liking my schedule which is stacked with math/science classes. id like a core curriculum with english and humanities classes as well like harvard has. i love the harvard campus/atmosphere and the people as well. its also very convenient in terms of transportation and dining. but basically my dilemma is that. mit is perfect in terms of my academic goals but id have a better college experience at harvard. i also want to go into business so i guess i can study math/finance at harvard..lemme know ur opinions</p>
<p>I'm sure you'll get in.</p>
<p>finish your mech E degree at MIT. Stick it out- seriously, engineer at MIT- doesn't get any better than that.</p>
<p>Totally disagree. Harvard will get you just as far and you'll have a much better experience. Elite business jobs do not care about engineering rank for undergrads. You have a good shot. Work hard and make the change.</p>
<p>are you kidding me slipper? some of the heavy quant jobs on wall street that pay ridiculous amounts of money could give a **** less about Harvard compared to an engineering major at MIT.</p>
<p>Both will get you very far in terms of job placement, so I think you should just choose the one which you think would be a more pleasing experience. Make sure you know WHY Harvard would be a better experience for you though.</p>
<p>NO. Harvard engineering sucks. And he's basically going to change his major to business and math because he knows harvard engineering isn't strong. take a look at the firms that recruit their kids- you wont find any engineering firms at all. they're mostly ibanking and consulting firms. If hes POSITIVE he wants to be an ibanker then it doesn't really matter if he goes to harvard. But if he likes mech E/ might want to work in industry as an engineer he would be taking a huge risk as engineering firms dont recuuit harvard engineers. He wont learn anything. the curriculum is some generic, engineering science BS.</p>
