Hello, I'm currently in my first year at another university but considering applying to transfer to Harvard. Can anyone tell me what the transfer acceptance rate at Harvard is like? Just want to gauge my chances.
Hello! Transferring to Harvard is indeed quite competitive. While the transfer acceptance rate can vary from year to year, it is generally around 1-2%. However, don't let this discourage you! If you have strong academics, well-rounded extracurricular activities, and compelling reasons for wanting to transfer, you still have a shot at getting accepted.
Make sure your application showcases your achievements, growth, and motivation for transferring. Focus on highlighting the reasons why Harvard is the right fit for you and how the university's resources and programs will help you further your career and academic goals.
While the transfer admission process is challenging, it's still worth applying if you feel like Harvard would be a better fit for you. Best of luck with your application!
