<p>How hard is it to transfer to Harvard? I heard that UT has the highest transfer rate to Harvard out of all schools. I'm planning to attend the UT Plan 2 and Business Honors Programs, and I think my GPA will be from 3.8-4.0. What do they consider? Should I retake the SATs while i'm in college? I</p>
<p>I find it hard to believe that UT would be hte highest transfer rate..compared to some of the Ivies, or schools like Stanford, MIT. They may not have that many people who wish to transfer - but i'm sure they have the highest rate.</p>
<p>wouldn't you think?></p>
<p>hi..what is UT? and do you have to be in honors program to transfr to harvard.</p>
<p>This may sound like a silly question but......I suppose for transfers, the recomm letters have to come from your new school and not from your Sr Year High school teachers, right?</p>
<p>Just wondering what is the incentive for Profs from the school that accepted you in Honors Programs with merit scholorships to give you recommendation letters that allow you to transfer out of their school?</p>
<p>It's like asking your current boss to recommend you to a new job! How does one get around this issue, especially if you are transferring within the same geographical region?</p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>
<p>My GC's son got waitlisted at Harvard originally, and then didn't get off the waitlist. He went to UVA, worked extremely hard first semester, and was accepted as a transfer mid-year (I believe). So, yeah, I don't think it's impossible to transfer into Harvard, but I doubt it's easy, and I personally would think that it'd be much easier to transfer in from another Ivy or Ivy-caliber school than any other school.</p>
<p>UT = University of Texas @ Austin </p>
<p>Their honors programs are very hard to get into but I don't think UT has the "highest" transfer rate. It's a good school, but that just wouldn't make much sense considering all the other schools out there.</p>
<p>I'd pick the school you like the best, not the school that you think will make it easiest for you to transfer to Harvard. Harvard accepts a tiny % of transfer applicants each year, and the trend seems to be towards accepting fewer transfers. Make the most of wherever you end up, and if you feel like that you're being constrained by your environment (i.e. classes too easy, not enough opportunities), then give transferring a thought.</p>
<p>Well said.</p>
