<p>I got into Penn SEAS. I am wondering if it is possible to switch to the Jerome Fischer Program. If it is possible, what are the odds? If it is not possible, should I go to the University of Maryland: College Park (full ride)? Thanks.</p>

<p>It’s possible but not easy to do. You have to have a very high GPA. You could always apply for an individual dual degree between SEAS and Wharton. That would be easier because the GPA requirements for that process is lower, I believe.</p>

<p>So Penn or UMD(full ride)???</p>

<p>You shouldn’t matriculate at Penn with the sole intent of transferring into M&T. Last year, 5 SEAS students were able to transfer into M&T, and most had GPAs of 3.9 or higher. You definitely can’t guarantee that you’ll do so well in your first two semesters.</p>

<p>So should I go to Penn or UMD (with a full ride)?</p>

<p>Since Maryland’s engineering is more than respectable, go to the one that you’ll feel happier in. But if Penn is too much for your family than Maryland, easy.</p>
