<p>i applied as a transfer student last year, and i was wondering if penn would keep any part of my application on file. </p>
<p>if not, do they basically destroy and throw away all of the applications and application materials when they are done with them?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure they don't, at least for a year or two. Easiest way to find out: contact admissions on Monday.</p>
<p>anybody else?</p>
<p>my guess is they don't throw out the files... if the transfer office doesn't give you an answer, i would assume that they have your old file. it shouldn't matter though, because wouldn't you just be sending an updated version of extracurriculars, grades and perhaps new essays?</p>
