<p>Hey I was just wondering what my chances are at transfering into Wharton.</p>

<p>I am a freshman
I currently attend the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
Gpa- 3.93 after first semester
I took Micro Econ and i will take Macro next semester</p>

<p>My reason for transfering is that i want to come near my house in NJ as my mother has severe depression</p>

<p>Extracurriculars
Chairman of the Multicultural association in my Dorm of 1300 students
Site Leader during annual volunteer work day at U of M
Volunteer at University Hospital </p>

<p>I also own my own business that expanded very well at UMICH and has generated 25000 dollars of revenue in the last year and a half</p>

<p>recomendation letter will come from a professor that attended Penn for his masters and PHD in asian studies.</p>

<p>any chance?</p>

<p>please let me know</p>

<p>Seems probable.</p>

<p>yeah, there are quite a few transfers from umich at wharton; most were also sophomore transfers.</p>

<p>just write good essays and continue to excel in your classes.</p>

<p>and btw, are you getting your rec from prof. kurashige? he's also from the asian studies dept and is a penn alum.</p>

<p>im getting them from Madhav Deshpande. </p>

<p>Do i need a really good rec from my advisor because i havnet really met with her yet</p>

5

<p>sorry for the double post</p>

<p>UMICH advisors said i shouldnt take calc again because I have AB credit and they said it wouldnt be advisable for ROSS.. penn needs calc 1... so if i write on my application that i will take it Spring Term is that okay? (UMICH has fall and winter and spring is from april till early june)</p>

6

<p>yeah.. i remember 2 wharton transfers from this past fall that took econ and calc 2 during the summer.</p>

<p>does applying after highschool and again transfer hurt your chances?</p>

<p>I am a sophomore economics,mathematics, and computer science triple major at Wesleyan University. I have a 3.1 GPA,which is low due to a poor first semester, but I have been enrolled in atleast 5 full credit classes (20 Credit Hours) per semester. My extracurriculars are cross country and track, investment club, vietnamese student group, and habitat for humanity. My high school GPA was 3.6 unweighted (3.8 weighted) and a 29 ACT Composite. I am hoping to transfer to wharton? Is that probable?</p>
