<p>Hey!
I didn't see a thread similar to this one, but figured I would start one because I noticed several fellow applicants!</p>
<p>Apply for CAS math</p>

Rec: one from math professor and one from econ professor. Both are really good–I am the best student in their classes. </p>
<p>High School (international):
GPA: 3.8 (GPA deflation Chinese high school. no 4.0 in grade because we count 100 as a 4.0 and 3.6 as a 90. 3.8 means my average of all scores is 95.)

<p>Reasons: my major is math and I am very interested in applied math and statistics. But Vandy does not offer a statistics major nor an applied math major. Moreover, for my secondary major Econ, Vandy does not have a good connection of econ and math. And since I want to start my own enterprise after graduation, Nashville, a small city in the south, cannot provide me with enough international environment and internship/job opportunities. </p>
<p>Financial Aid Needed?:
No</p>
<p>YES!!! A Penn transfer thread has appeared…We should hear in about 2 months and a week; hahahha quite sometime, but let’s hope it passes quickly.</p>
<p>In. </p>
<p>Community college transfer from California. </p>
<p>4.0 and decent test scores</p>
<p>Mechanical Engineering</p>
<p>Hey I’m not applying to Penn, but GOOD LUCK GUYS.
I hope you all get in, UPENN is a great school. XD</p>
<p>Applying as an English major.</p>
<p>OK test scores- 2030. 4.0 after two semesters in college (one semester from high school). Hoping my extracurriculars will help- research conferences, competitive figure skating, writing, dancing, mentoring, vice-president of the English club, etc. One can hope!</p>
<p>official deadline for submission was today… It’s safe to say the nerve wrecking wait has begun.</p>
<p>Hi guys! New to CC (Even though I was an avid stalker as a high schooler)… I’m applying to transfer to SAS and am super nervous!</p>
<p>I’m applying, though I don’t really expect much.</p>
<p>@gregfields don’t worry! admissions just always seem to be a crap shoot… </p>
<p>@cudreams. pretty nervous too, but glad to see that others are out there too! anyone else freaking out?</p>
<p>also I still have missing documents, has anyone been contacted about missing documents yet?</p>
<p>@MJG678
yeah i’m kind of freaking out. I still have missing documents. It says that my recommendations and application fee is not satisfied. I called last week and they told me not to worry or rely too much on UPenn Portal because the stuff that they update on ur account is not always up to date. </p>
<p>around when do we find out if we get in? i think from another forum last year i think i saw like around the second week of may.</p>
<p>Ah good to know! Thanks for passing the info along… I guess now I can try to relax and enjoy my spring break and stop checking everything obsessively… oh wait, that won’t happen.</p>
<p>According to last year’s thread they heard back the second Thursday in May I think, so that would be May 10th for us this year.</p>
<p>Is SAT strictly required?</p>
<p>The SAT or the ACT plus writing MUST be submitted. @roy69024843 technically no because you can submit an ACT score instead.</p>
<p>depends on what yeah your coming in as. for example if u are currently a sophomore trying to come in as a junior than i know for sure no. i don’t even think they look at SAT as a freshmen trying to come in as a sophomore due to the whole purpose of the SAT/ACT is to see how well u would perform you first year in college. </p>
<p>is this the only UPenn 2012 transfer discussion board. I thought for sure that the UPenn one would be more crowded but this is the only one that’s really talking about transfers.</p>
<p>@MJG678 What if I don’t want take either of that? Do I still have chance if I built some robotic stuff or sth else?
I am gonna transfer as sophomore</p>
<p>@BlackRose21 You sure?? I remembered I saw somewhere that even you are transferring as sophomore you still need the SAT or ACT```</p>
<p>This is the thread! Other schools that traditionally have long transfer threads are shorter this year.</p>
<p>@roy690248483 and @BlackRose21 you can double check the transfer checklist on Penn’s website, but it is listed as mandatory on the checklist. [Penn</a> Admissions: Transfer Eligibility and Requirements](<a href=“http://www.admissions.upenn.edu/applying/eligibility.php]Penn”>http://www.admissions.upenn.edu/applying/eligibility.php)</p>
<p>@DivZero and @BlackRose21, I thought the same thing! This thread really isn’t seeing much action compared to last year’s :(</p>
<p>@MJG678:
Yeah I know but I visited over the summer and the admissions lady said that i don’t need to worry for SAT at this point because they are not going to look at it so i didn’t send it. they already had me checked off on my Upenn portal saying that they have it. But I also applied as a high school senior. If they really need it then they have it in my transcripts. But I would think that they would look at it more for freshmen applicants since they only have sooo many credits and they tend to look at your high school transcripts more and SAT since you probably don’t have a lot of credits or have done too much stuff on campus for them to fully evaluate u.</p>
