Just accepted to College -- is it remotely possible to switch to Wharton?

<p>If this is not possible, what are the best options available being accepted to the College?</p>

2

<p>you could always major in neoclassical economics</p>

3

<p>Penn's Econ departments are very strong. Maybe a double major with econ and international relations or history?</p>

4

<p>What about getting a degree from Wharton and one from the College?</p>

5

<p>see. this is what I'm talking about. Wharton is the only good part of penn</p>

6

<p>I really regret not applying to it directly :/</p>

7

<p>says the idiot.</p>

<p>edit: thanks a lot max for posting in front of me so it looks like i was talking to you instead of semp. seriously, thanks man.</p>

<p>damn it, ruins EVERYTHING, that guy.</p>

8

<p>ohhhh so semp is back :p</p>

9

<p>Does anyone know how to answer my question though? :)</p>

10

<p>I'm pretty sure there are placement exams for everything, max.</p>

11

<p>Meaning...? I just don't know what to do now with what I have :/ I'd really like the best options available.</p>

12

<p>why do people always try to use CAS as a backdoor? If someone wanted to go to wharton, they should have applied there in the first place?</p>

13

<p>I wasn't trying to use it as a backdoor. I'm not afraid of admission rates (I got into a bunch of other wonderful schools)... it's just that my interests and goals have changed.</p>

14

<p>Look up the required courses for Wharton like Econ 001, 002, etc. (it's somewhere on the Wharton page under internal transfers) and register for those. Get a 3.7+ GPA and you should be in good shape to transfer.</p>

15

<p>What DISADVANTAGES do I have not getting into Wharton freshman year? As in, what becomes of that first year if I do in fact transfer?</p>

16

<p>Nothing really happens. If you take the required courses and transfer successfully, I think it would be pretty much the same as if you had been in Wharton all along.</p>

17

<p>What is the transfer process like? Do you have to get recs/etc all over again? etc. What if I wish to doublemajor?</p>

18

<p>Nope. Just keep that GPA over 3.7 and you're set.</p>

19

<p>Excellent! So as long as I take some required Wharton classes and own them I'm good to go for doublemajor?</p>

20

<p>well, basically own all of ur classes and ur good to go.</p>
