<p>I was wondering how easy it is to transfer from one college to another at UPenn. Of course they probably wouldn’t let you get into Wharton if you didn’t apply there, but I’m in the Engineering School and I’m now thinking of majoring in mathematics…is it possible to switch to CAS?</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>Transferring from Engineering to the College is probably the easiest of the interschool transfers to do, because more than a few people who start in the engineering school decide that they're not up for it after a semester or two, and the College gives them a saftey net to fall back on. That said, you can transfer between any of the schools, including wharton or nursing, without a great deal of difficulty provided you have a decent gpa and have filled a few requirements in the school into which you wish to transfer.</p>
<p>yes. fill out a form, and you can begin taking college courses in second semester, freshman year; your official school association will switch at the end of the year.</p>
<p>how difficult is it to go from CAS to Wharton?</p>
<p>you need about a 3.6 gpa and to have taken some wharton classes so that you're not too far behind others in your year, which can be challenging, but overall certainly doable</p>
<p>how hard is it to maintain a 3.6gpa in SEAS (bioengineering specifically). </p>
<p>I made the mistake of not applying for M&T and doing SEAS only. I regret it now but want to do a dual-degree.</p>
<p>it's tough to do in engineering, the average gpa for freshmen in engineering is really low, like a 2.5</p>
<p>My high school's GPA system is whack, but is 2.5=B-?</p>
<p>it's between a C+ and a B-. A B- is a 2.75 and a C+ a 2.3</p>
<p>so if I understand it right, the average SEAS GPA is lower than the average SEAS grade curve?</p>
<p>it's very possible, since SEAS students don't just take SEAS classes, nor are said classes comprised solely, or even mostly, of SEAS students, especially freshman year, when they take things like calc, physics, and chem</p>
<p>i think its 2.7...so almost a B-...but thats still low...makes it hard for duals...im actually really unhappy about that because i want to do a dual...you need to maintain such a high GPA</p>
<p>lishnik: are you currently attending Penn?</p>

The average tends to be slightly higher than the curve, because SEAS people also take courses in CAS, which boosts their GPA. Also, there is no "SEAS grading curve." The C+/B- curve is very common for large classes (SEAS and CAS Science), but many smaller classes are curved higher.</p>
<p>2.5?! thats scary</p>
<p>raghavp, i also regret for not applying to the M&T programme and i'll be going to Upenn with the same major as yours-bioengineering. If you wanna talk with me online send me a private message or e-mail.</p>
<p>raghavp no im not a current student im going next year, but dual was a possible plan of mine so ive looked into it</p>
