<p>Seems like there is barely anyone else out there but I'm sure I'm wrong because who wouldn't want to be at Penn!</p>

<p>@william95, I’mm applying as a Transfer to, and I was wondering how would they take it if I sent my documents, such as the registrar report, rec letters, sat scores, late. Do you think it would be okay?</p>
<p>@randombookie I think that it should be fine provided that you submit your common app and supplement by the deadline. Just try to get everything in as soon as possible. What school are you applying to out of curiosity?</p>

<p>@william95 how come you want to leave villanova? Do you not like it there? </p>
<p>@Wantwharton not many people leave Harvard especially since they do just as well as Wharton undergrads in finding business jobs. What don’t you like about Harvard?</p>
<p>@pallidpallas. Do you not like b.c.?</p>
<p>Just interested in why you guys all want to transfer</p>
<p>I really enjoy BC’s social scene, and the course offerings, in many respects, have been great so far. The issue is, I’d like to concentrate academically on Japanese studies, and, because I placed out of a few semesters of language classes, coupled with the limited scope of non-language-related courses offered at BC, I just can’t do so here. Penn would afford me a breadth of coursework that would make my current opportunities pale in comparison.</p>
<p>@wantwharton I’ll take your place at Harvard for ya…</p>
<p>@desie1 I’m not very fond of Villanova’s social life and lack of diversity. Also I’m looking for a school with better ranking / recruiting. Plus Penn’s just been my dream school since I started the college search</p>
<p>would you be able to chance me? I applied to Wharton. I am a 17 year old(turning 18 in july) hs grad who jumped right into a CC. I should be receiving my Associates in Communications in August (taking summer classes). I didn’t take my SAT or ACTs i knoww.
I have a 4.0 College GPA and a 3.5 HS GPS
Phi Theta Kappa Member
NHS in high school
7 years of business experience (entrepreneur)
Top 10%tile in my high school class
Current deans list (in college)</p>
<p>@Hopefully My opinion probably doesn’t mean much but considering the small amount of spots available for transfers, it seems like Wharton tries to “steal” students from the other ivies / top schools. What does your 7 years of business experience consist of? Is that related to why you decided to graduate HS early? Good luck!</p>
<p>@randombookie yeah, but I don’t think it should be a problem if you didn’t yet.</p>
<p>On last year’s thread, the ones who didn’t just got a friendly reminder in mid-April. I don’t think they’re gonna throw your application in the trash just because you didn’t yet.</p>
i knoww.
