<p>Hypothetically, if one was accepted into CAS and planned to major in economics, how difficult would it be to transfer into Wharton, after a year or so?</p>
<p>at least a 3.8 GPA</p>
<p>very, but not impossible.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses. I figured it would be difficult.</p>
<p>iirc, about as hard as normal transfers, except, if a professor knows you really well, they might put in a good word.</p>
<p>@disgradius: really? one would think a school would give some sort of preference to inter-school transfer because it involves their own students…lol.</p>
<p>It’s not as difficult as you might imagine. Take a few easy A’s, get some easy requirements out of the way, and transfer in.</p>
<p>yeah, thats what I was thinking as well. I’m hoping to double major in CAS and Wharton (not the international business thingy or w/e), and I don’t see how it can possibly be as hard as people make it out to be if you play your cards right (i.e. take the easiest classes - that you will need to take sooner or later throughout your college career - during freshman year). </p>
<p>That HAS to be easier than outside transfers, because they’re evaluated based on many more things, and I doubt it’ll look favorable for them if they take easy classes like an already admitted Penn student can do…</p>
<p>i dunno if I’m right though, i’m just making general assumptions based on what I’ve been reading, haha.</p>
<p>transferring into wharton is based 100% on GPA. that is the only criterion. they’re very transparent about the cut off gpas. heres the website: [The</a> Wharton School - Undergraduate Division](<a href=“http://undergrad.wharton.upenn.edu/academic_options/internal_transfers.cfm]The”>http://undergrad.wharton.upenn.edu/academic_options/internal_transfers.cfm)</p>
<p>it really just depends on how many people apply and what their gpa is</p>
<p>jesus why are there sooo many people trying to switch into wharton. if that was truly your interest, you should have applied there directly in the first place. penn should change their internal trasnfer policies imo</p>
<p>^Yeah, people can’t change their minds or anything. </p>
<p>And besides, it’s the smart thing to do if you don’t think you will get accepted to Wharton as a freshman.</p>
<p>^ No, it’s really not that smart to go to Penn with a plan to “backdoor” into Wharton.</p>
<p>ya i dont get why so many people want the backdoor nowadays</p>
<p>Yes, it’s stupid - and in this economy, I’m sure that the number of internal transfers will drop off significantly.</p>
<p>I love the argument that in this economy, everyone is bailing out of business. Lets examine facts:</p>
<p>Graham and Dodd’s age of enlightenment was during the great depression
Buffet is the product of the great depression
corrections are a natural, cyclical process
downturns yield opportunities</p>
<p>I’m not even going to examine the speculative side of undervalued securities and such. Honestly, if you like business please go for it. If you want to make a lot of money really fast, follow your passions and you’ll be noticed and rewarded in your respective field.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Is that all I have to do?</p>
<p>it’s just annoying for those of us who went through the whole process, and even more unfair to those who got rejected to wharton AND UPenn, because they applied to wharton.</p>
<p>A good professional in any field will make good money. Even history/english majors can work their way up to management and earn big $$$.</p>
<p>Yea, you have good opportunities no matter what happens if your good enough.</p>
<p>Unless, of course, you’re an art history major.</p>
<p>being a floor manager for art bidding houses makes RIDICULOUS money. All your clients are automatically millionaire art collectors.</p>
