<p>hey all, i have some questions regarding transferring to penn (and others):</p>
<li><p>which school at penn has the higher # of applications, wharton or the cas? which is “easier” to get into numbers wise?</p></li>
<li><p>i’m currently a physics major. i have the intention of going to med school, and then getting an MBA. is an undergraduate business major necessary in my situation? if so, should i apply/matriculate to the highest ranked business schools? i know that name-branding is important for careers in business, so i’m a little curious and concerned about this application process.</p></li>
<li><p>i want to apply to penn, cornell cas, u chicago, wash u, cmu, and northwestern. as for public schools, i am considering michigan, illinois, and rutgers. i’ve done some research on transfer rates to these schools, and given my stats (3.85 college gpa, 3.62 hs gpa, 2270 sat, 750 + 760 satII, good recs and ecs coming from a state school), i’m a little nervous about applying to penn, cornell, and chicago. is it advisable for me to apply to these schools or am i just donating money to them?</p></li>
<li><p>finally, say i do choose to apply to penn…which school would i apply to? wharton, given my business intentions, or cas, given my desire to pursue a physics major (then med school). can i somehow apply to both schools?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>sorry for the long post, i’m just trying to prepare myself for the app. process. good luck to everyone and thanks in advance for the advice!</p>
