Hi, I am a 2nd year economics student at University College London and I’ll be doing my year abroad at UPenn. While I love UCL I don’t really enjoy London and the UK in general, and I was wondering if there is a chance of “persuading” UPenn to allow me to transfer. I should mention that during my year abroad I’ll be taking advanced economics courses (required by UCL).
Thanks!
You have to apply through the regular transfer process. Luckily, you’ll be able to tell a persuasive story as to why you want to transfer and you’ll have grades to back it up, but I believe it gets harder if you’re applying after your 1st year of college.
