<p>Last year, I was admitted into Cornell. I remember that I was able to log into housing and that meant that we were accepted! Granted, this trick isn’t sure for Penn, but it’s worth a try!</p>

<p>Here’s the link for Penn’s housing:</p>

<p><a href=“https://www.admissions.upenn.edu/decisions/mydecision.php[/url]”>https://www.admissions.upenn.edu/decisions/mydecision.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>are any of you able to log in?</p>

68

<p>I wasn’t able to, but Penn is normally pretty good about blocking you from the mydecision site because nothing is uploaded on there until the day of decisions…</p>

<p>Did you end up at Cornell? I got a GT as a high school senior (disappointing because I got into similar caliber schools), but I am attending it if my other transfers don’t work out</p>

69

<p>@MJG678 - Unfortunately, I didn’t go to Cornell. I got in as a transfer applicant CAS. They did not give me any aid at all so I had to stay at my current university. However, I did work harder on my Penn essay this time around so…we will see! At least you have a good fallback school, congrats!</p>

<p>Just curious, but what other schools you were accepted as a high school senior? where are you now?</p>

70

<p>I PMed you! I figured it was easier.</p>

71

<p>I applied to Biological Basis of Behavior in CAS</p>

72

<p>I applied to Wharton as a sophomore transfer. Although I might as well be considered for junior standing because by the end of the Spring Term I will have completed all the required courses for junior transfer students.</p>

<p>After two terms/quarters at Dartmouth I currently have a 4.0 GPA. I did not apply last year because I applied and was accepted to Dartmouth ED. Good luck everyone!</p>

73

<p>i notice that pretty much all wharton transfers are already from a prestigious school/ivy. errr :(</p>

74

<p>I’m not sure if coming from an Ivy could help or hurt you…In a sense, it could help bc you are coming from an equal school. but, it can hurt because you are already in a good school…it’s complicated. I think that articulating your reasons well should be enough…so idk. What do you ivy league students say about this?</p>

75

<p>anyone heard anything from Penn at all?</p>

76

<p>I emailed e apps yesterday and got an automated response:</p>

<p>"I will be out of the office until Wednesday, April 18.</p>

<p>I will be checking emails."</p>

77

<p>interesting… lol, I am calling next week to ask when we will get decisions, although I haven’t had luck when I call them.</p>

78

<p>Is it true only 25 external transfers matriculate to Wharton each year? I’m sure at most 30-35 external transfer applicants get in with certain applicants not matriculating due to cost or getting into Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc.</p>

79

<p>@AvidStudent I don’t believe they release the official number, but when I spoke to my admissions counselor, I was told somewhere around 20-25 externals get in to Wharton (they prefer people transferring in as sophomores).</p>

<p>@MJG678 let us know when you call!</p>

<p>@cudreams,</p>

<p>According to past threads a poster who got in and matriculated to Wharton as a transfer said something very similar to what you said. 20 sophomore transfers and 5 junior transfers. Luckily, I am a sophomore transfer, but 20 out of how many sophomore applicants? The thread poster also posted, albeit uncited and outdated (2008), said there were 500 applicants (sophomore + junior) transfers.</p>
