Fall 2016 UPenn Transfer Thread

Wow, congrats! I’m also applying to transfer from Tufts (even though I really like it here). I’m too afraid to check my decision though…

Accepted!! CAS - Math/Econ

@Sphericalcow also waiting to check. im planning to check tmw.

I feel the same. Engineering+premed, incoming junior with 3.94 and a bunch of experience and leadership roles. Life ain’t fair- all that for nothing! :’(

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeejected :smiley: I still love Penn no matter what.

Accepted. I’m still in shock
CAS

Who all are going to the Transfer student open house this Saturday?

Accepted and flipping out!

ECs- lots of writing things, planning committee for large college event, psych research, challenging summer jobs.
essays: pretty good i think??? recs were def great, including one from my current supervisor.
Hook: americorps participant?
also I’m white, female, and originally from california.

i was admitted to CAS

@Janizary I just checked!
I was accepted to the school of engineering.
That makes at least two Tufts transfers!
It’s weird, because they flat out rejected me as a freshman applicant.

@welphereigo @Sphericalcow Could you please post your stats for engineering?

Rejected. I’m not surpised because Ivy’s leagues only accept people from minorities and super rich kids. Students who are white, male or female, and in a middle class to upper class family usually never get accepted. So not a surprise and it shouldn’t surprise any one on this discussion post. Trying to stay optimistic but it’s the truth.

@mateenjan1 Sounds like you’re honestly just bitter. Not to mention, schools can’t see how much your parents make when they read your application. My BF got in today as a transfer and he’s white and middle class.

@ibtes96
which stats do you want?
I am at a top 15 uni, 3.84 GPA, 1550 SAT. anything else?

@Sphericalcow that’s awesome ! Congratulations! Are you definitely going to Penn? Im strongly considering it but still waiting to hear back from two colleges.

@mateenjan1 im sorry that you weren’t accepted, but there’s a wide variety of people who get accepted, including people of the demographic that you listed.

Accepted to Upenn!!

Does anyone know when we have to notify them that we want to go?

I haven’t posted here before, but I’ve been following the thread…Accepted to Penn SEAS!! Congrats to everyone wh got in!!! To the others: Stay awesome and keep kicking ass, and you’ll do amazing things in life. :smiley:

Anyone want to make a FB group for admitted students ?

@mateenjan1 Penn is need-blind (even for transfers).

@Janizary Penn TSO makes one every year, join that one. It’s up and running!
