***Official Fall 2011 UPENN Transfer Thread***

<p>What? Really? I hope that’s true. How do you guys know that? I guess we’ll see in a couple of days.</p>

<p>Anyway, I actually sent my app in really early (around early February) because I didn’t want to do apps while I was studying for stuff.</p>

<p>^ if they didnt want them, they wouldnt go through the trouble of asking… especially so late in the review process… thats my theory… i think im right… well see on thursday … gl!</p>

<p>^ Yeah, from what it seems like… 3 people last year were contacted for midterm reports and all of them got in… <em>Fingers crossed</em></p>

<p>ya exactly… i didnt remember where i made the connection but i knew there was something there… im so jealous haha penn is my top choice…</p>

<p>so you guys are referring to another type of midterm report asked for more recently in addition to the one on the common app we had to submit with teachers signing off on all of our midterm grades?</p>

<p>no. the same one. that’s why i find they’re assumption a bit ridiculous.
they could be asking for the mid-term report to see how their grades were holding up second semester and reject them based on that. the incident from last year that they mentioned is merely a coincidence in my opinion</p>

<p>^ ok who really cares relax… so your right, you ok now? doesnt make a difference… decisions come out couple days…</p>

<p>because it is ridiculous to get people hyped up for no reason, and then have them be even more upset when they don’t get in.</p>

<p>Penn emailed me on April 28th about missing mine – and I turned in my application March 15th. While I would LOVE for this to be the case, I don’t see how it could be an advantage (unless some people didn’t turn in a mid-term report and were NOT notified, or something). And based on the date of my email and smarts1’s, there isn’t a correlation between when you turned in the app and when they contacted you.</p>

<p>and I agree with ylmc.</p>

<p>Totally agree, everyone was notified if they didn’t have something because I was a while back … it doesn’t reflect being admitted</p>

<p>quick question:</p>

<p>Do I allow to retake the SAT?</p>

<p>To everyone who was asked to submit a midterm report – are you guys rising sophomores or juniors?</p>

<p>So if we weren’t asked for recent marks… should I be worried :expressionless:
I was halfway through my second term when I submitted my application and included available marks… that’s all they wanted right?</p>

<p>as i know, there are people who did not submit their mid-term report has not yet received an email to ask for it…so maybe this does mean something…just guess…</p>

<p>Anyone know if UPenn is coming out thhis weeek?</p>

<p>EDIT: nevermind - saw the email</p>

<p>less than 48 hours!</p>

<p>So nervous!</p>

<p>Is UPenn completely need-blind for transfers? I know that Brown is need-aware, and Vanderbilt is need blind, unless one specific college “runs out” (so to speak) of aid money…</p>

<p>“All transfer applicants must submit their mid-term grades. Failure to do so within the specified guidelines will put you at a disadvantage in the process and may delay our decision. Use the Common Application Mid-Term Report.”</p>

<p>I also talked to the office a while back and it is required.</p>

<p>@Ace6904 - It’s not written on the website, but if your Dean writes to them saying that your school doesn’t release mid term grades, then they exempt you from that requirement.</p>
