University of Pennsylvania Fall 2019 Transfer Thread

Penn would give a notification a week in advance before results are released @kcasssuu so I think it’s unlikely results will be announced soon.

15th of May it is I guess

I just called admissions because my son is leaving at the end of May for an internship in Singapore. The secretary said they don’t have a date yet but it will be in the next two weeks and an email will be sent before.

I will mention again my daughter had an interview at Penn Nursing school last week and they told her decisions will be released between May 15th - 20th. I expect an email will be sent at some point next week either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Hi, this is my first time posting on here.

I was contacted earlier this week about sending my Spring 2019 sophomore grades to Penn. I was wondering if this was a good sign? I also got 2 B’s this semester (I haven’t gotten one before) and was hoping it wouldn’t affect me negatively.

Does anyone have information on past applicants from past years who were contacted for Spring grades? This is my first time applying to Penn.

Thanks and good luck everyone!

Is this your second time sending in your grades, after sending in the mid term report?

Yes, it is my second time.

I’d say its a pretty good sign. Always stay positive.

Thank you for the quick reply! Good luck to everyone else on the thread.

Hi Just wanna ask did a lot of people receive the interview?

@goldenhours I would think it’s a good sign! Best of luck to you!!

@imaluckyfishcat interviews in the transfer round were for Nursing students only.

When will we hear back?

I think we will be getting an email on either Tuesday or Wednesday with the release date probably on May 15th.

Has anyone heard of Penn requesting spring grades from incoming junior applicants?

@goldenhours nope!

Can you give us a bit more context? What school are you applying for and what are you stats if you don’t mind me asking.

Not comfortable sharing stats for privacy reasons.
And to the college of arts & sciences. @aussiedude

hi, everyone I still did not receive my upend portal. I emailed them multiple times. But I didn’t get any reply from them What should I do?

@tiiicnnn maybe try calling the admissions office to speak to them directly! make sure you have your common app ID or coalition ID depending on how you initially applied to UPenn! They might be able to help you sort it out quicker as I know their inbox can sometimes get backed up around this time of the year. Best of luck!

Hi! My name’s Adrian, and I am one of the VPs of the transfer student organization at Penn. I am currently a sophomore in Wharton studying finance and business analytics. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I’m done with finals, so I’ve got nothing better to do :slight_smile:

One piece of advice I will give any prospective transfer (Penn or elsewhere) is to look at the transfer community at the schools you are considering. If you transfer, it is likely that many of your best friends, at least early, will be transfers. In general, it is more challenging to transition to a new school as a sophomore or junior than it is a freshman. Penn has an organization (TSO) dedicated to helping transfers assimilate, and they made my transition as enjoyable as it could be.

I look forward to meeting some of y’all during orientation!

@adriansh as an FYI, you can’t message people on here until you have made 10 posts. I am not sure about replying to incoming messages, but that might be the case as well. So, you might want to post more or give people a more specific way to reach out. I was able to locate your email address, but I am not sure if that is how you want people communicating with you.

Thanks for offering the help! This is a high-stress time for a lot of people and I am sure everyone appreciates it.

Thanks for the insight! I’d be happy to answer any questions on this board, as I’m sure countless others have the same questions that you do. Also, feel free to reach out via email (adriansh@wharton.upenn.edu) for more personalized questions. That’s why we posted them on the website!
