Question
I want to transfer to Harvard University from my current college CUNY Hunter
College. Please help me know some secrets to get in to Harvard. My other
choices are Yale, Columbia, Cornell and Berea College.
Colleges want to know what the reason is for your transfer. They are interested in students who plan on staying there and graduating. Harvard will expect the best grades possible in core subjects, good recommendations from college professors, and community service during the school year or during the summer. Many schools like Harvard take a very small percentage of transfer applicants.
