<p>Does anyone know if that is possible once youre at Penn?</p>

2

<p>Yes. You typically need around a 3.71 after the second semester. If it's really what you want to do, find the easiest possible classes you can (although you have to take econ 001 and 002), and get a 4.0. It's sneaky, but it's literally purely based on GPA.</p>

<p>Yeah. I'm a transfer myself from CAS to Wharton. You need to have credit for Econ 001, Econ 002, and Math 104 to transfer at the end of freshman year (the requirements become crazier and the cutoffs become absurd after the first possible opening for transfer). But so far it's been in the 3.6 range, but it has been rising over the years. The last cutoff was around a 3.70 I believe. Transfer has its ups and downs... you'll definitely feel a crunch in terms of playing catchup (especially if you're taking a language).</p>

<p>I transferred in end of freshman year, never took a single class and transferred out end of sophomore year.</p>

5

<p>Never took a single class? Why did you transfer out?</p>

6

<p>Never took a single Wharton class my entire sophomore year - when I was enrolled in Wharton.</p>

<p>Why transfer out? Why not?</p>

7

<p>I mean why would you choose to transfer in, not take any classes to see how it actually was, and then jump right back out?</p>

8

<p>I think they mean why did you bother transferring in, if you were just going to transfer out.</p>

<p>The question isn't why, the question is why not. Both for transferring in and transferring out.</p>

<p>Besides, for my entire sophomore year I could pick on Wharton and Whartonites all I wanted, and get away with it.</p>

<p>If I wanted a vocational school, I'd have studied carpentry!</p>

11

<p>...I coined the carpentry analogy.</p>

<p>Who the hell are you. You stole my analogy.</p>

12

<p>Actually, I coined it ages ago. You are just a sophomore(ic) poser.</p>

13

<p>I've been calling Wharton ivy league carpentry since I was born.</p>

14

<p>you were born yesterday</p>

15

<p>I didn't think they let two-year-olds into Penn.</p>

16

<p>idk, trying to go on the phrase people say to show that they are not gullible. "I wasn't born yesterday"</p>

17

<p>It all makes sense now. Wharton is a carpentry school. What have I done?!</p>

18

<p>I <3 Wharton</p>

<p>Wharton <3 me! (hopefully)</p>

19

<p>And since Wharton is a carpentry school, you also love carpentry.</p>

<p>I once told a person I was going to Wharton and they thought it was a standalone medical school because it sounded like "wart." Weeee.</p>
