<p>75% sophomores, 25% juniors</p>
<p>Thanks. Do you think that’s mostly because the Admissions committee favors sophomores (since it’s easier to finish) or is that just a from most of the applicant pool being prospective sophomores?</p>
<p>PennTSO - do you have any knowledge of the LPS process and what their admit rates look like? Shall be submitting here in a few days as a non-trad to LPS</p>
<p>I know it’s already past the deadline ( i already submitted my application) but I’ve had some nagging questions that hope could get answered!</p>
<ol>
<li>The Penn Admission portal doesn’t have anything regarding the status of the mid-term reports. How do we know if they’ve received it or not?</li>
<li>Do you believe that high school GPA plays a significant contribution to the sophomore transfer process? If so, how much? And would an improvement trend be considered?</li>
<li>I submitted my ACT scores but they are not superscored so I only sent in one report. But common app requests that I write out my highest score for each section! Do I need to send separate report for each of these to verify each subsection or would it not matter because Penn doesn’t superscore anyway?</li>
<li>If you believe that your professor wrote a very generic letter about you (I was not close with the professor, he did not know me very well, yet I was desperate to get a letter), would that “kill” my chances? I do believe that nothing negative was noted (probably positive), but I do not think it was very specific of me either.</li>
</ol>
<p>What impact do the retained scores have on an applicants portfolio? In my specific case, I retook some tests, achieved much better scores, and sent those in. They put my previous scores to shame, but I am afraid that they will be marginalized while the old scores are still on hand.</p>
<p>for transferring to wharton, the website stated that applicants must have taken a math course equivalent to math 104.
Is it really a requirement, and what would happen if I haven’t taken the class?</p>
<ol>
<li>What if you get a 4 on Calculus BC and not a 5, would you still have to take math 104 for transferring to Wharton?</li>
<li>If your standardized test scores aren’t that good from HS, does it really matter if you take it again in college and get a higher score? Do you even have to retake the test if you have improved significantly in college?</li>
</ol>
<p>I’m looking to transfer from a state university in 2014 or 2015. Does Penn look at your HS transcript if you have completed 30 or more credits? Also, should I use my AP scores in Macro and Stats, both of which are 5s, at the state university? Or is simply taking the classes in college better for a transfer.</p>
<p>Was accepted to Penn as a transfer student and am absolutely (shocked) and thrilled! </p>
<p>I am a bit anxious though about credits transferring, especially since Penn has complex gen eds. Could someone speak to the ease of transferring credit? I know Penn recommends submitting a syllabus for credit to transfer as well as papers/projects but I didn’t keep a lot of my school work from this year…Will this ruin my chances of getting credit? For the school work I do have do we upload all of this online to XCAT? Also for a course description what does this look like (do we paste what our school’s description of the course was or is it supposed to be a personal description “My econ class of 20 students studied…”)? Is there a format on XCAT?</p>
<p>Also how can we tell what courses count as Foundational Approaches? On Penn inTouch I only see what courses fulfill sector requirements…</p>
Hey!
I just wanted to know what stats would be required if I want to transfer as a sophomore. For example, GPA, ECs etc.
