<p>i realllyyy tried my best this last year to trasnfer to wharton , and im quite proud</p>
<p>However, i understand wharton is extremely hard to get into as a transfer, and i dont think i'll make it in. It seems like it , as I still haven't gotten my decision yet :(</p>
<p>the suspense!!!</p>
<p>Sorry to derail the thread, but does anyone have any input on my earlier question?</p>
<p>I noticed a lot of comments like "get over Wharton and the mindset that you need it to be successful."</p>
<p>Would it be looked upon favorably if I conveyed that subtly in the app, or would they reject me outright for not being insanely in love with Penn?</p>
<p>So you're planning to write an essay about how you're ambivalent about Wharton?</p>
<p>ditto that question... why would you want to give that kind of a vibe on your application?</p>
<p>OK, I'm not sure why you got that vibe, so it's probably not a good idea.</p>
<p>Let me clarify: I AM CRAZY ABOUT WHARTON for a variety of reasons, not just $$$, though it is a big factor too.</p>
<p>That said, I have seen comments in this thread and the magnetschoolCA/hopeful2007 threads that Wharton does not like desperate people who think that they should jump off a gorge if they do not get in.</p>
<p>So I was just wondering whether it is better to keep a rein on my enthusiasm in the application, or would it even be beneficial to go the other way? If you tell them you believe you'll succeed no matter where you go, doesn't that convey something attractive/positive about your attitude/personal qualities?</p>
<p>PennFan, your essay should be about why Wharton is good for you, and why you are good for Wharton. I think what the forum means by "desperate people" are those who overdo the first part at the expense of the second part. I suspect that overdoing the second part at the expense of the first part also won't work. The bottomline, however, is that you need to be true to yourself. Otherwise, you are doing a disservice both to the school and yourself.</p>
