<p>I am a freshman at my local community college where I am in an honors curriculum. I was wondering if someone could provide me data about transferring for Penn's Economic majors not through Wharton. So "Economics" and "Mathematical Economics"?</p>
<p>Your goal is to transfer into PENN as an undergraduate, not as an Economics major. They won’t care what your major is when evaluating your transfer application. Please go here:

<p>In their own words: “Penn is among the most highly selective institutions; as such, the most competitive applicants for transfer are the students with superior college and high school records and testing.”</p>
<p>Based on your other posts, you were rejected at schools with less selectivity than Penn (NYU, GWU). This indicates a very slim likelihood of successful transfer into Penn. Good luck nonetheless</p>
<p>I am a (soph) transfer student at Penn. Most of the transfers I know had stellar records in high school and ended up going to, as a result, pretty impressive schools. Many of them earned 4.0’s or something close to that at their colleges.</p>
<p>With that said, I think there were 2 or 3 community college transfers total this year (and, if I’m not mistaken, all to the College). Typically transfer students (from my experience) are people who could have potentially been accepted the first time around (i.e. Penn was a quasi-reasonable reach school for them), but they weren’t, and now they’ve excelled in college and therefore have gotten in. I don’t know your stats, nor have I explored your first-round app decisions, but College Board has some useful admit stats if you go to Penn under their Big Future feature, and click on “For Transfer Students.”</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
