<p>I’m applying as a transfer to Arts & Sciences.</p>
<p>I’m a Williams College Freshman
GPA: 3.5 >.<
SAT: 2230
ACT: 34
Math 2: 800
Bio M: 750
High school rank: 1/197
AP Scholar with Honors, IB Diploma</p>
<p>I’m also a first generation college student, I NEED to go to a more gay friendly school, and I just found out Williams was cutting their Italian department from 3 classes to 2…and I already placed out of the first 2…ugh</p>
<p>anyone know when decisions come out for transfers? anxious last half of the semester ahead</p>
<p>At or around May 15th.</p>
<p>hello, anyone know if it’s more or less likely to get in applying into one of those dual degree programs than as just a single major in a school? it also says if you don’t get into the dual degree to indicate your second choice single degree, so if you don’t get into it, would they just bump you to the single degree one? @briane93 i’m also at udel and would be applying as junior.</p>
<p>Best of luck everyone!</p>
<p>Hey all, just wanted to know if anyone bothered to fill out “The Form for Dual-Degree, Accelerated Programs, etc.” I thought this form was only available for HS seniors, and I called an admissions representative about it and she told me to skip it. However, I can’t seem to find anywhere on the application that says that Transfers aren’t allowed to fill out the form. In any case, I guess it’s already too late to fill out out…but I’m still curious to see if anyone bothered too.</p>
<p>[THE</a> JEROME FISHER PROGRAM IN MANAGEMENT & TECHNOLOGY | ADMISSIONS](<a href=“Home - Jerome Fisher Program in Management & Technology”>Home - Jerome Fisher Program in Management & Technology)</p>
<p>This is one of the dual degree programs offered. It says that you can apply after the sophomore year spent at penn, after meeting the requirements. No point filling it out.</p>
<p>Alright CC community… For a couple years I have tried to abstain from creating a user account on this site, but as of recent I have grown very desperate and anxious about a couple decisions. I would just like to finally get one of those shameless “chance” evaluations done for me, for I figure that you all who have observed UPenn trends over the past couple years would know a little something. Sorry for the preface. </p>
<p>Previous MN public high school student.
GPA: 4.0
7 APs: all 5.0 scores
ACT: 32 (34 superscore)
SAT2: 800 Math II, 800 Spanish w/ listening.
Class vice president, volunteer distinctions, key club president, varsity track, missions trips, etc.</p>
<p>Previous UofMN co-enrolled high school student.
GPA: 4.0
Courses: pretty much continuing my mathematics education because my high school did not offer beyond Calculus 4. </p>
<p>Current top 10 university freshman.
Previous Theology & Philosophy major, but now interested in rekindling my love in Mathematics and continue track to Medical School.
GPA: 3.66, 3.45 (science)
Courses (36 transfer credits): 200 level pre-medicine courses and labs, 200 Russian, 400 Spanish, 300 mathematics (all very rigorous courses in the eyes of students on campus)
Founder/president of Athletes in Action chapter at this school, founder of Verpers Worship Sundays (a place for all Christians to get together for unity through worship), race board discussions, interfaith board discussions, Club Volleyball team, etc.</p>
<p>I just recently realized that I wanted to continue studying mathematics and my school does not have many more courses for me to take in the Math Department and has no graduate math courses. I would end up having to begin matriculating into Masters courses at nearby state schools to continue math starting my sophomore year at this school. One of my essays also briefly described my visit to drug rehab my freshman year of high school (as a means to simply give more information about me), something that I am also uneasy about on whether or not I should have included such information even though I described it in a very reflective tone and as a victory story (please let me know what you think to this point).</p>
<p>I just humbly would like to know some opinions/experiences for people similar to me. This totally isn’t my thing, but I have become desperate to transfer for various reasons among those already mentioned</p>
<p>Thanks for any consideration. Sorry for the long message.</p>
<p>Has anyone received any correspondence regarding missing application materials?</p>
<p>Penn sent me an email just recently asking for a mid-term report.</p>
<p>Yeah, I got that too. The email was titled “University of Pennsylvania Transfer Application Reminders?”</p>
<p>I think that was a generic email that was sent to all transfer applicants, even if you already turned in your midterm report.</p>
<p>so for those who haven’t turned in mid-term reports yet, when should they be sent by? so they aren’t looking at spring grades then correct? also, is there a mid-term report form to fill out or is it just the individual teacher’s report of your grade?</p>
<p>I think that you should send them in as soon as possible since UPenn is probably already looking at our applications. THe Mid-Term report is one of the CommonApp School Forms, so just print it out and have teachers fill in the blanks. I don’t believe they look at final spring grades since decisions come out at or near when the semester ends for many schools.</p>
<p>Are we allowed to fax our midterm grades?</p>
<p>Hi everyone.</p>
<p>I am an international transfer applicant to UPenn. My intended major is Math. Currently, I am a physics sophomore at Fudan University, Shanghai.</p>
<p>I emailed my mid-term report to Penn via email (as they told me, email to “<a href=“mailto:records@admissions.upenn.edu”>records@admissions.upenn.edu</a>”). But they did not reply to me to confirm the receipt of my report. Should I call Penn to make sure that my document is received? Or does calling too much bother the admissions officers? (Well… I called Penn a couple of days before and a lady seemed to be a little impatient… I asked if my materials had been received and she kept on saying Penn would reach out to me if any document is missing…)</p>
<p>Just too nervous because I am an international applicant and I know I have disadvantages…</p>
<p>Thanks you guys! Wish you all good luck and hope to see you this fall at UPenn:)</p>
<p>It’s sad to know 9 out of 10 of us will not be attending Penn this upcoming Fall :(</p>
<p>The acceptance rate on CC is typically higher than the overall acceptance rate. I would be more optimistic. :)</p>

I found that emailing them is much more effective. You can find their email on the admissions website.</p>
<p>Hello all,
I’m currently a sophomore at a PA state school applying to transfer to Penn as a Political Science major. </p>
<p>About me: I spent a year on the student newspaper as Web Editor, Reporter, and finally News Editor. I also served as a Peer Mentor for the First Year Seminar/Orientation class last fall during my second semester. I also serve as a Senator on our Student Government Senate, ran elections during this last electoral period, and also serve on our Committee on Finance (we distribute student activity fees). Consistently make Dean’s List. 3.6 first semester. 3.94 second semester. On track for a straight 4.0 this semester (we have 2.5 weeks left). </p>
<p>Stats:
HS GPA: 3.51
ACT: 27
Current College GPA: 3.77 (31 credits)<br>
Major: Political Science (formerly Journalism); adding a Philosophy major </p>
<p>Other stuff:
I feel my essays for Penn are the strongest part of my application, as I’m fluent in writing. I would like my HS GPA to be higher but I had extremely tumultuous junior/senior years in HS due to my parents’ divorce and I had to move out on my own because of the fallout. My one essay reflects this so I hope it doesn’t diminish my chances because I’d absolutely love to go to Penn. I live right outside Philly and getting in would make my year, no joke. I have ambitions for grad school and my Poli Sci profs/Philosophy profs here have discussed at length with me how to best go about this so Penn is very appealing for me in that regard as well.</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you!</p>
<p>^You have very strong stats out there, bad news for me that we are both poli sic major, but I am sophomore transfer and hopefully I can see you at penn this fall :-)</p>
