It is highly unlikely that you can get into MIT or Harvard without a 4 year degree. Both universities have rigorous admission requirements and a 4 year degree is usually a minimum requirement for consideration.
Even if you have exceptional academic achievements, it is still very difficult to get into MIT or Harvard without a 4 year degree. These universities value a well-rounded education and a 4 year degree shows a level of commitment and dedication to academic pursuits.
No, a 4 year degree cannot be substituted with work experience. MIT and Harvard both require a 4 year degree as a minimum requirement for admission. Work experience may be considered as a supplement to your application, but it cannot replace the need for a 4 year degree.
In rare cases, there may be exceptions to the 4 year degree requirement for admission to MIT or Harvard. These exceptions are usually made for students with exceptional talent or achievements in a particular field, but they are not the norm.
While it is possible to transfer from a community college to MIT or Harvard, it is not a common occurrence. These universities value a strong academic background and community college courses may not fulfill their admission requirements. It is best to contact the admissions office at MIT or Harvard to inquire about their transfer policies.
