<p>Hi there,</p>
<p>I'm considering potentially possibly maybe (i think u get the point) applying as a transfer into Wharton to become a sophomore. but before i commit my time and peace of mind to the whole admissions process, I was wonderin if i should even bother. </p>
<p>what roughly are the number of transfer applicants and acceptances for the wharton school?</p>
<p>what advice would you give for a transfer applicant?</p>
<p>Maybe 25 accepted out of several hundred applications.</p>
<p>My advice would be not to waste your time - you're in a ( I assume) good school now - make the most of it. You won't get the most out of your college experience if your body is there but your head is at Wharton. </p>
<p>You didn't get into (or didn't even apply to) Wharton as a freshman. That train has left the station. Your chances of catching it now are (much) lower than the last time around. Time to implement Plan B, which does not involve riding the Wharton Express.</p>
<p>I've met several people here all ready who have transferred into Wharton, so if that's your hearts desire, I would pursue it whole-heartedly. Percy's stats are somewhat accurate, but that should not be a deterrent for you. Obviously, you would want to be stellar in the program you are currently in first, but after that... Remember,you only live once.</p>
<p>Well, I guess if you dedicate yourself fully to your existing school (which you will need to do anyway in order to get the high grades and EC's needed for transfer) then all you have to lose is the application fee (and your time and peace of mind, as you said). So take a chance and apply if you want (so that you know you gave it your best shot) but don't set your hopes on getting in or chances are high you'll be in for disappointment.</p>
<p>Of course there are people here who transferred to Wharton - this is the UofP forum. SOMEONE gets in - the # of transfers is greater than 0, just very few in relation to the # of applicants - even worse odds than for freshman admit when they have many more seats.</p>
<p>Well, just apply. You won't get another chance, and if you don't apply, you'll always carry around the feeling of 'what if...' If you don't get in, be happy at where you are. If you do, be even happier. </p>
<p>Go for it, and good luck.</p>
