Transfer Students

<p>let's say I am going to pepperdine this year and let's just say I will get 3.8 or higher for first two years in business major. Have done some Internship etcc..during high school and also planning to do during summer. Do I have a chance to transfer to wharton?</p>

<p>Of course you'll have a chance. Beyond that, no one here will be able to give you an accurate idea of your chances. I haven't really investigated the prospect, but from what I have read, I understand that Wharton has fairly stringent requirements. I think the general consensus was that one has a better chance of transferring in after one year. Can anyone confirm or rebut this ?</p>

<p>It is true that one has a better chance of transferring in after one year. However, what do you mean by stringent requirement?</p>

<p>Wharton web site:</p>

<p>Requirements: All applicants are required to have completed two semesters of integral calculus, or its equivalent, as well as one semester of microeconomics and one semester of macroeconomics by the end of the term in which they are enrolled at the time of transfer application. It is also strongly recommended that all applicants gain proficiency in a foreign language by the time they enroll at Penn. Proficiency is usually equal to four semesters of college-level language courses and must be demonstrated by passing a proficiency exam at Penn before graduation. In addition to one year of calculus and economics, potential incoming juniors are expected to have already completed two semesters of accounting (financial and managerial), and two semesters of statistics.
Also, please be aware that math courses below the level of calculus, and statistics courses without a calculus prerequisite, will not transfer to Penn. </p>

<p>Students are encouraged to transfer after their freshman year, because we have very few spaces available for entering juniors.</p>
