I’m currently a freshman at Berkeley. I was wondering, what would it take to transfer into UPenn SEAS, in terms of GPA/essays/recommendations? I’m taking maximum credits for my first semester at Berkeley (18), one of which is a sophmore Calc class, and hopefully aim for a 3.8+ GPA.
Some high school stats:
35 ACT
2280 SAT (2320 superscored)
800 SAT Math II, 790 SAT Chemistry
4.56 high school weighted GPA, 3.9 unweighted.
5’s on AP Chem, Bio, Micro, Macro, Eng Lang, Eng Lit, AP Calc BC, Psych, Stats
Bunch of EC’s, couple leaderships
Bunch of awards
Top 2%
For anyone wondering, I just feel like I belong at Penn. The close collaboration between schools is something I really, really like, and it’s hard to do that at Berkeley, considering how I’m constantly fighting to get enrolled.
Thanks!
