Applicant Rejected from Waitlist Wanting to Transfer

<p>I was browsing the Penn admissions website and saw this:</p>

<p>"Students who have been denied admission to Penn are strongly advised not to reapply after only one semester."</p>

<p>How seriously do the admissions officers view this requirement? Has anyone in a similar situation applied and gotten in as a transfer? I'm planning to apply to other schools as well, so filling out the Penn supplement wouldn't take a lot of extra time and effort.</p>
