Chances for transferring to UPenn engineering?

<p>HS GPA: 3.3 (Went to the top private school in my state) very rigorous
SAT: 1940
Extracurriculars: Debate, won numerous award. place number 1 at state in our division</p>

<p>College GPA: 3.51 (hopefully 3.6ish after this semester)
University I attend: Wake Forest (known as Work Forest) Really worked my ass off for even a 3.5 GPA which is kind of low
Currently: Sophomore
Rigorous classes: Organic chem 1 & 2, multivariable calculus, calc 2, general physics 1, first year seminar, english class, spanish </p>

<p>This semester classes: Physical chemistry 1, general physics 2, linear algebra, developmental psychology, health and exercise science</p>

<p>leadership: vice president at an environmental club in high school, worked as an summer intern at a pharmaceutical company over the summer.</p>

<p>probably join a couple of clubs at the start of this semester</p>

<p>bump…also I was on the Deans list both semesters and I’m currently in a fraternity for my EC</p>

<p>no chances?</p>

<p>I’m certainly no expert, but since no one else has answered you…</p>

<p>Every year, SEAS sees a good number of students transfer out - that is because engineering is harder than they thought, or they decided engineering is not what they want to do.</p>

<p>Of course, SEAS plans for this. So it is hard to say how many students they need or want to transfer in in any given year.</p>

<p>You got a 3.5 in a top school, but did you get your As in the toughest courses?</p>

<p>And your SAT 2s might be of interest to admissions - this, in addition to your GPA, would reflect how well you can handle the very demanding coursework.</p>

<p>I would think if you nail the essays, making Penn feel you’re a good fit, you stand a very good chance. Good luck.</p>

<p>Tama - Out of curiosity, where do people transfer to or do you mean they transfer to another Penn college?</p>

<p>I think its really a toss-up. You’re in the range.</p>
