<p>Hi,
I am a sophomore and in a state university currently. I am a math major and have been taking junior and senior math courses since my second semester in college. I am in the honor college of my school, and have a 3.9 GPA. I am in the Golden Key Club, math club, and hiking club in my school. I have been working as a math TA for Cal II for a semester so far and will keep doing this next semester. I believe that my professors would like to give me solid recommendation letters also. I am planning to apply for Harvard as a transfer. So I am wondering what my chances would be like. Please help and give me some suggestions. I will appreciate your answers very much! Thank you!</p>
<p>Well, you asked the same question on the Yale board, so I guess you have no idea where you want to transfer to, or why you want to go to either school. You are a math major and you can’t figure it out? </p>
<p>While Yale has a 2% transfer acceptance rate, Harvard’s rate is even lower. With transfer rates so low, everyone has barely a slim chance at either school, more so at Harvard.</p>

<p>“From a pool of 1,448 applicants, 15 students were admitted to Harvard College in the 2012 transfer admissions cycle, putting the acceptance rate for students who start their time at Harvard as sophomores or juniors at approximately 1 percent.”</p>
<p>I imagine that successful transfer applicants have provided Admissions with compelling reasons for attending – specifically, areas of study that Harvard or Yale have that cannot be found at your current school, such as studying with specific professors in areas relevant to your major. You should start your investigations here:

<p>Thanks for getting back with me. Your suggestion on where I start my investigation is really helpful. I will take your advice, thx :)</p>
