[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Transfers are very hard. If trying to transfer after freshman year then they will look at high school record. Need a compelling reason for transfer and I think community college students and such are prioritized over students trying to transfer to upgrade without a real need like a niche program not offered at cheer school. That’s my limited understanding from things I’ve read, no personal experience. [/quote]

Some schools like Harvard also favor military veterans as transfer students. https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/apply/us-military-veterans#:~:text=There%20is%20no%20separate%20or,may%20apply%20as%20transfer%20students.[/quote]

Take this with a grain of salt. Most colleges go through the motions of pretending to care about military veterans. Given the political slant at most elite colleges, I wouldn’t expect them to make good on their promises.

I'm a Harvard grad. I am familiar woth the program. A quick google could have givens you the facts, which are:

Harvard College accepts a small number of transfer students each year, and veterans make up a growing portion of that group: 
 
Transfer students: Harvard typically accepts around 12 transfer students per year. 
 
Veterans: The number of veterans at Harvard has increased in recent years, with 76 veterans enrolled in 2023. This is a significant increase from 24 veterans in 2020. 
 
Harvard has increased its efforts to recruit military applicants, and the school has partnered with organizations like the Warrior-Scholar Project to help veterans attend college. Harvard's admissions director, Joy St. John, says that veterans bring a diverse perspective to the school and that public service is a core part of Harvard's mission.
