<p>Just curious. Do they have a certain amount of spots to fill because some students left? Are they simply being nice and giving other students a chance? I'm very curious.</p>
<p>Maybe they’re interested in talented people that have done things after high school. Your guess is as good as mine.</p>
<p>^ Agreed. A lot of people aren’t outstanding in high school but then go to college, turn their lives around, and accomplish some pretty Harvard-worthy things. It’s to give a lot of people a second chance (though admittedly, a very SELECTIVE second chance…)</p>
<p>For the last year, maybe two Harvard, didn’t accept any transfers. This year they will accept one. I cannot possibly imagine the qualifications of this one person who will be accepted as a transfer to Harvard.</p>
<p>They’ll take more than one. The rumored number is around 10 to 20. The list of Harvard alum who were transfers is quite impressive, including names like John F. Kennedy, Henry A. Kissinger and W.E.B. DuBois.</p>
<p>JEEZ! Don’t ****ing scare me with that “one person” nonsense! I heard it was like 10-20 as well?</p>
<p>Sorry, my bad. I know I read the one number somewhere but now I can’t fine the source and on their website Harvard doesn’t say anything about one. Again, I apologize.</p>
<p>i think part of it also might be the fact that they had to extensively utilize the waitlist last year to fill the class.
maybe they figured they can now make space for transfers</p>
