Fall 2014 Transfer Applicants

<p>@masqalree Chances are he got in. They look for kids from peer schools mostly at Wharton or ones that are a SLIGHT step down (Notre Dame, NYU Stern, etc.). They only take ~25 kids so why take the kid who’s got a 4.0 at XXX State University over the kid with a 3.8 from an Ivy or top school. I’m sure this isn’t true for 100% of the kids that get in, but probably for the majority of an already very small accepted minority of the overall applicant pool. </p>

<p>@SeekCollege369 No, if anything that helps you.</p>

<p>Accepted to Wharton! Duke freshman, 3.8 gpa. I applied last year and got wait listed.</p>

<p>@william95 I was being sarcastic. if someone from harvard with perfect gpa ever decides to leave the school, I would like to talk to them right now. The mindset you have @william95. you seriously think that upenn decides on name values, gpa, and test scores only? No wonder you didn’t get in. But then I didn’t get in either who thinks that your essay tells more about you than your gpa. So I’m just gonna shut my mouth up. </p>

<p>@masqalree‌ I’m that dude from Harvard, and no, I was rejected by Wharton.
Oh well.</p>

<p>and I don’t have a perfect GPA – I have a 3.9</p>

<p>does anybody have experience with the predictability/consistancy of transfer admissions? relatively speaking, penn was probably the easiest school applied to so Im starting to think this may end poorly for me… :/</p>

<p>it seems that you @william95 got into cornell… This is exactly why i want to leave this place. It’s full of people with low self-esteem and tries to find reasons to justify that. In doing so, they judge other people based on those criteria they judge for themselves. </p>

<p>Accepted to CAS for international relations</p>

<p>@wantwharton‌ you are cute lol. </p>

<p>@masqalree‌ everything matters… 4.0 at Harvard is not the same as 4.0 at CC… </p>

<p>Didnt get in either. They said they took in 200 people out of 2400…</p>

<p>@wantwharton I guess I just have to trust you on the part where you go to harvard. </p>

<p>Rejected by Wharton as a junior transfer. Really don’t understand why. 3.85 GPA at a top 20 school with all prereqs fulfilled… excellent internships, essay and even a rec from Wharton alum</p>

<p>@william95‌ I’m from ND actually… still got rejected lol</p>

<p>@Rewaska Of course everything matters. But you are bringing in two extreme cases and making an argument. Who doesn’t know the difference between 4.0 at harvard and 4.0 at CC. it’s a holistic process but based on people who got accepted/rejected, gpa is not the primary reason. someone with 3.5 from decent school get accepted while that dude up there from harvard with 3.9 got rejected(assuming he’s telling the truth). I can’t make sense out of their decision based upon the decision they are making. Nor can I get an explanation from the school on their criteria. </p>

<p>@SeekCollege369, it is not consistent at all! I have a friend that got rejected from state schools that’s headed to an ivy. Just keep your chin up! Good luck :)</p>

<p>this is so funny. Cornell already has too many people and yet it is so lenient in accepting new people. Hilarious. I don’t even know why it is an ivy league institution compared to other 7 in the league. </p>

<p>@delinquente‌ I don’t understand why I am rejected either. </p>

<p>@masqalree‌ I guess I didn’t show enough love for Penn…focused too much on Wharton</p>

<p>@masqalree, there’s no need for that. I know decisions are tough, but these schools are all phenomenal institutions. </p>

<p>Rejected and not surprised hahaha. Keep your heads up, people! We’ll find happiness somewhere else :)</p>

<p>@cj2017 Exactly why I want to leave the place you just got in. Phenomenal institution based on what exactly? Engineering I hear is great but apart from that, I don’t know what Cornell is doing.
@delinquente the thing is I showed love for Penn. I was worried that I didn’t focus too much on Wharton. </p>
