<p>Please give me 3-5 tips that I should follow freshman year to help increase my chances of transferring to Wharton as a sophomore.</p>
<p>hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha</p>
<p>Hopeful, you have started enuf threads on this - it is beginning to sound pitiful. The Penn admissions people can smell desperation in an application. You have to quit obsessing and get an attitude adjustment or your already close to zero chance will become even lower.</p>
<p>Sigh. Mattwonder, you are right, but can we be a little less harsh?</p>
<p>I know I shouldn't be saying this since I have been toying with the idea of transferring to Wharton myself...but...why don't you go in with an open mind and give your new school a chance? You just might end up loving it. And if you really want to study business as an undergrad, why don't you try UMich/Ross or NYU/Stern?</p>
<p>all i asked for were tips, not some dumb, and rather idiotic bull$hit saying that I'm desperate</p>
<p>f(_)cking prix</p>
<p>^Hopeful - haven't y0u noticed that no one has given you a constructive reply in all the like 10 similar threads you've tried to start that all concern you transferring to Penn - this is not because everyone in the world except you is a jerk - it's because there's really not much constructive to say about something where (A) your chances are very low to begin with and (B) there's really no magic formula for increasing them. So it's really time for you to take the hint and stop asking what are basically dumb and unanswerable questions. I'm really not trying to dis you, just to get you pointed in the right direction. Look at nutmeg's advice about giving the colleges that actually wanted you a chance. Look at yourself in the mirror and say that you're not obsessed with Penn to a point that's not healthy for someone who has been rejected. The normal reaction to not getting into a school is to be disappointed but to move on. What part of "NO" don't you understand?</p>
<p>Why you all fussing about?</p>
<p>College GPA matters a lot as a transfer, from what I've heard.</p>
<p>Also, your transfer reason (essay) is the most important.</p>
<p>There's really not much to it...
Go to a respectable college, take Not-easy courses and get a 4.0
Get some club, hopefully a leadership position. Start one that has meaning.
Make sure you show that you changed from the previous application that you submitted this year. I.e find what you did wrong this time and next year, prove to them you can do better, and show and tell them. For me, I think it was the essays and grades, so this time, I wrote all honest things from deep inside. </p>
<p>They say that once you get rejected, you should not apply again the next year. I got rejected last year, and I applied as a transfer to Wharton this year. I really did change a lot. I'm still waiting for my decision.</p>
<p>Tip: Make sure you have a good story. Otherwise, why would they even look at you again? They already rejected you once.</p>
