<p>Can I actually apply for the college of arts and science (economics major) and go to Wharton??? I mean can I transfer schools inside UPenn? If possible, is it easy or do you have to take a test or something??</p>
<p>I was planning on applying Wharton ED, but if I can transfer, I would rather go for the college of arts and science or the engineering school ED.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>um. don't plan on it.</p>
<p>It is possible, but it's kinda difficult to get in. You need to take at least 8 credit bearing courses, get no Cs (not sure about this one), take math104, econ010, bpub250, and wait for it... get at LEAST a 3.7</p>
<p>The GPA cutoff has been rising every year. Last year was a 3.66, this year was 3.7, so you can expect it to get even more competitive next year. If you go to the engineering school (the curve in science classes is centered around a B / B-) expecting to learn business , there is a good chance you will not make the cutoff.</p>
<p>If you really wanna go study business, just apply to business schools, it's as simple as that</p>
<p>Let's put it this way. All colleges are full of a lot of smart people (Penn included). Not only have people tried the "backdoor" Wharton admission in the past, but the school has long since countered with transfer criteria.</p>
<p>If it were that easy to transfer, Wharton would probably be the largest school at Penn.</p>
<p>"I was planning on applying Wharton ED, but if I can transfer, I would rather go for the college of arts and science or the engineering school ED."</p>
<p>This is NOT a good idea. If you want to be in Wharton, you should apply directly to Wharton.</p>
<p>Alright...I go for Wharton ED..lol</p>
<p>just wondering...I don't know if anyone even does this, but can you transfer from Wharton to the College, and if so, would that be considered easy to do?</p>
<p>I was wondering about Wharton-->College transfers as well.</p>
<p>Well, transferring into the college is common among engineers after the first year (at least in the past). Students with GPA's substantially less than a 3.0 were able to get in. I guess the idea of doing far more work than your friends (5.5 credits including .5 credit labs that take forever vs 4 credits traditionally taken by college students) while still getting substantially worse grades gets to some.</p>
<p>Anyways, according to WhartonAdvisor, this has changed recently and transfer standards have become more strict (still, they do not approach those required for transfer INTO wharton).<br>

<p>Students do transfer from Wharton to the College, but the number is extremely small. </p>
<p>Information about transferring from another school to the College can be found here: <a href="http://www.college.upenn.edu/rules/transfer.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.college.upenn.edu/rules/transfer.html</a> The College requires a 3.0 GPA and has made its requirements stricter over the last year.</p>
