Your GPA is quite low for Penn, your test scores are below average also. Do you have any SAT IIs? Also saying your school is top 40 in the state is pretty useless, especially as we don’t know whether your state is in Massachusetts or Whyoming. I’d say your chances are under 5%, especially if you don’t have a hook.

@ninjakiwi OP’s test scores are not below average for Penn. Average is 32. Penn also superscores, and the average superscored ACT is higher.

4

Penns website claims the middle 50% of ACT scores is 32-35. Thus a 32 places one in the 25th percentile, which is below average among students admitted.

I think you have just as much a chance as anyone! I’m also a Wharton ED applicant, so I wish you the best of luck!! Just wait out the next couple of days & try not to stress too much :slight_smile:

6

I would say you have a low chance because of GPA and ACT.

7

Jeez, you should’ve applied CAS and transferred to Wharton, you’d have a much better chance.

8

Looks great to me! Good luck!

Transferring between schools is not easy to do. (especially from CAS to Wharton). If you want to get a business education, you applied to the right school. Don’t doubt your application; you did your best and that is all that matters.

I would say u have very low chance because you dont have special ec and awards and your act score is low.
