Hii guys, im planning to transfer to wharton next year, the university i will currently be going to only allows one major to be studied, so i was wondering wich major would be most useful to get in, I can study finance, economics or Business administration, any help would be appreciated, thanks
Probably something like finance, accounting, or management.
I’m planning on winning the Mega Lottery next week, but I don’t think it will happen.
^^^Agree you should not “plan on transferring into Wharton” as very few transfer students are accepted. Apply and put your best foot forward but be sure to have a back up plan. Overall Penn accepts about 200 students from about 2,000 transfer applications for all 4 of its undergraduate schools combined. http://www.admissions.upenn.edu/apply/transfer-admission/faq
I don’t think comparing a lottery to college admissions is fair. The winner of a lottery is randomly selected, while in college admissions, you do have many ways to stand out in a pool of applicants that increase your chance of admission. Of course, I may be biased, as I am also applying to Wharton as a finance transfer student for the Fall 2018 semester. However, you should go into the process doing everything you possibly can to get in and ignore the stats. On the other hand, you should also make alternate arrangements just in case it doesn’t work out, like in anything else.
@EnactB Just so you know the term “lottery” on CC is often used to refer to admission to the very top tier schools. The idea is that those schools have far too many exceptional applicants than they can accept so at a certain point an element of good fortune is part of the process – meaning that the accomplishments/essay/LOR or any part of one application need to particularly stand out to an admissions officer over and above those of other outstanding applicants. It is not meant to compare admissions to a random lottery.
