<p>Does anyone think I may have a shot? </p>
<p>I also applied to Amherst, Boston College, Cornell, rice, Bucknell, and Georgetown.</p>
<p>^What are your scores.</p>
<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I’m currently a GW student, I’m an Econ major and I’m applying as a junior transfer.
My stats
I did not do well in HS
GPA: 3.3
SAT: 2020
College GPA: 3.83
Also I have some pretty good ECs, a few stand out internships. (The nicest part about GW!)
And I’m a double legacy, I’m not sure what role that will play in admissions however.
Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Since everyone’s posting their stats, I might as well join in. I know my chances aren’t that high, but hey I can dream right? </p>
<p>here are my stats:
Transferring into junior
HS GPA: 93/100 by Canadian standard, idk what it means in the U.S.
College GPA: 3.79/4.0 (I hate Berkeley’s grade deflation)
Midterm Report: Didn’t submit
SAT: 2100 Combined, No ACT
SAT II: 740 Math I, 680 U.S. History, 790 Chinese Listening</p>
<p>Essay: I wrote about how I wanted to get into smaller and more intimate classes(honestly speaking most colleges fit that profile), academic opportunities are plentiful
Letter of Recommendation: One from my American History professor and another from my Southeast Asian History professor, both of whom I know very well and hopefully they wrote me a good recommendation
EC’s: Plenty in high school, relatively fewer in college, investment group, human resource association members, deposition volunteer for law school etc.
Work Experience: Internship at the biggest U.S. law firm Baker& Mckenzie, jockey club, research assistant for professor at Boalt Law, upcoming one in the Court of Appeal
Also applied to Cornell and Columbia, accepted to Cornell so far
I never thought of applying to Penn when in high school, now I hope I won’t regret not at least trying.</p>
<p>Got the email about online decision posting today. Proceed to freak out but then calm down in realization that focus is needed to pass finals.</p>
<p>@OMGItsJustin, it’s not today. I received the same email, too, and it said May 13, 3pm EDT. Good luck everyone…</p>
<p>Haha yeah, I know. It is just the anticipation from waiting so long. Good luck everyone.</p>
<p>Ya, that email gave me false hope of being able to stop worrying about my decision from Penn. I guess we have a week and 4 hrs to go roughly.</p>
<p>SAT ( math-710) (reading- 760) (writing-710) they are not the highest, but I did take them in the 9th grade. Also, it was the beginning of the year.</p>
<p>^I don’t get it. SAT expires in two years, yes?</p>
<p>Not sure. Never took them again. Didn’t send them to the college I went to because they didn’t require them. I just know the score I received.</p>
<p>I didn’t submit my SAT just ACT, which I took last year. The expiration is three NOT two.</p>
<p>Does anyone know roughly the difference in acceptances between Wharton and CAS? I’m sure a majority of rejections come from Wharton so the rate for CAS must be a bit higher, but does anyone have any quantified information regarding that?</p>
<p>Has anyone sent in their Final Transcripts for this semester? Are we even able to send them in?</p>
<p>I would like to know for SEAS as well, but Penn doesn’t really release the stats on a school per basis. I wouldn’t be surprised if more than half the applicants were for business or nursing or another popular program there.</p>
<p>@elijah I honestly think they have our decisions made at this point, so it would be pointless to send anything else in, unless asked.</p>
<p>I sent in my final grades, but that’s only because I never sent in midterm grades and was never asked for them, either. I think they just decided to reject me and didn’t think there would be a point in seeing them!</p>
<p>@saturn8893: That’s strange. I remember getting an email from them about few weeks ago asking me to send the mid-term report.</p>
<p>Here is the email: </p>
<p>We have received your application to the University of Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>We would like to remind you of the following:</p>
<p>If you have taken courses on a PASS/FAIL or CREDIT/NO CREDIT basis, please have grades or written evaluations of your performance sent by the professors of these courses. If you attend a school that records only PASS/FAIL on your transcript for your first-semester or first-year courses, please request that your grades be released on the transcript sent to our office.</p>
<p>The Common Application mid-term report is required for all transfer applicants who are currently enrolled in a post-secondary institution. You will need to have each of your professors provide a mid- term grade determination (if you were to receive a grade for the course right now, what would it be?) for any course in which you are currently enrolled along with the professors signature.</p>
<p>Documents can be emailed directly by professors to <a href=“mailto:records@admissions.upenn.edu”>records@admissions.upenn.edu</a></p>
<p>If you have already submitted these materials, please disregard this email.</p>
<p>Thank you,
Penn Admissions</p>
<p>^Yeah that’s exactly it.</p>
<p>@lelouch tried looking for stats breakdown but I couldn’t find anything. I found the 2011-2012 overall stats: 2099 applied, 203 accepted, 129 enrolled</p>
