<p>is it hard to transfer into Brown? as a junior</p>

2

<p>Good grades at Wharton would make this very doable, a sizable number of Whartonites move onto other ivies.</p>

<p>i'm not at wharton; i was rejected there as a transfer last year. I could try to transfer to wharton again this year, but i'm not sure it's worth the work......there's an even smaller chance of getting in unless they value my persistence of having applied year after year: freshman, transfer 1, and this could make it transfer 2......i'm sick of being rejected</p>

<p>well what were your stats when you applied to wharton for xfer and did you have relevant work experience?</p>

5

<p>i had a 4.0 first semester, around 1550 SATs for Math + Verbal (2250 total). I was in top 5% (barely) in HS</p>

<p>Had not very good ECs in High School, but was an exec board member my first year in college of a biz club, won academic awards</p>

<p>i also worked at a bulge bracket investment bank this past summer (i.e. the summer after my freshman year)</p>

<p>is it worth applying again? I really don't have any leadership ECs this year so far, but my internship carried some leadership stuff related to it</p>

<p>wow you had those credentials AND worked at a bulge bracket (which is impressive on its own) your freshman summer. i take it that you applied from a well respected college too?</p>

<p>do you want to get into banking? if that is the case, you have already worked a BB internship which clearly shows you have an in. why not stay where you are and make use of your connection there. i don't see the point in transferring to Brown IF you want to do banking AND already have a connection there powerful enough to get you a freshman internship.</p>

<p>im at a state university (not umich or uva), and I was talking about reapplying to wharton, not brown</p>

<p>i'm just considering brown as an alternate transfer route</p>

<p>Unfortunately, the transfers into Wharton are mostly internal from other Penn programs. Brown sounds worth a try!</p>
