<p>I was accepted to the college but now wish I had applied to Wharton. I don’t think we can transfer now, but are students able to transfer between the two schools after matriculation?</p>
<p>yes, but transfering into Wharton is very difficult to accomplish. Administration is keen in preventing "back-door" admissions. The only easy transfer is going out of Wharton into something else, which is fairly rare anyways because Whartonites are vey focused on what they want to study from the very beginning. That said, it's hard but certainly not impossible, so good luck.</p>
<p>Yes, it certainly is possible.. I don't know the exact numbers for transfering from the college to wharton, but I believe it's somewhere around a 3.8 or so.. you also will have to take Econ 1 and 2 and Math 104 (the equivalent of calc BC). </p>
<p>And even if you decide not to transfer entirely (or don't make the GPA requirements), you can always just take some Wharton classes (that's what i'm doing.. i'm SEAS so a dual degree is just soo many credits.. so instead i'm just taking a bunch of wharton classes)</p>
<p>A College education is more personally fulfilling than a Wharton education. My friend in the College transferred into Wharton, didn't like it, and is now transferring back.</p>
<p>I applied to the college in the first place since I thought I would have far more options. Business school is a possibility in the future, but not something I have my mind set on. In undergraduate, I want to take more than one foreign language and was worried I wouldn't have that opportunity if I was at Wharton. As far as law school, is a larger percentage admitted from the college or wharton UG?</p>
<p>What languages?</p>
<p>I've taken Spanish for a long time then I want to learn Russian. I can't count German out though either.</p>
<p>I'd count German out. Learn non-European languages. Larger populations means greater applicability and less development means less people are trained in English so your knowing their language will help. Additionally, less development means growth opportunties.</p>
<p>Seeing as the net economic growth of Germany in 2005 has been -0.5%, I wouldn't consider it so much a land of opportunities...</p>
<p>Yea, logically I should learn Eastern Asian languages, they just don't roll off the tongue as well.</p>
<p>Is there any one language program that is best as Penn?? Maybe has better study abroad opportunities and resources?</p>
<p>well, I don't know which is "the best" but we have a ton! There's something like 140 or so languages you can choose from, and there are certainly plenty of study abroad options for everything</p>
<p>Penn is known for its broad language program that offers lots of language options hard to find elsewhere, particularly in Asian and African languages. I'm studying Chinese myself (and no it doesn't roll off the tongue as well...but the marginal utility is worth the marginal pain in the butt).</p>
<p>foxdie is totally incorrect. just, completely wrong. it is not hard to transfer from the college into wharton, nor is administration keen on preventing backdoor transfers. each year, wharton accepts ~60 internal transfers, among them those who wish to transfer into wharton from another of the college's schools (nursing, engineering, college), and those who wish to dual degree (essentially gradual from one school in addition to wharton, like myself). that said, it is MUCH MUCH MUCH easier to transfer to wharton as a penn student. you will need a minimum of a 3.4 GPA to apply, but it should really be higher. keep around a 3.6-<em>3.7</em> to be safe. it's really not that hard to do. if you work hard, you can get mostly As at Penn. the only thing you need to do the transfer is credit for econ 1, econ 2, and math 104.
good luck and congrats!</p>
<p>Its easier to do in the College (get that 3.8 GPA). Chem101/Phys150/Math114 vs. Intro to Sociology.... Hmmmm</p>
<p>Plus, its not that you either transfer or dual-degree. Everyone applies to dual-degree and then you either keep or drop your second degree, whether it be Eng, College or Nursing.</p>
