When has Penn HISTORICALLY posted their transfer admissions notifications? Is it possible that they could notify us on the same day this year?
Unfortunately, we are not supposed to share the exact date. However, last year I received an email on May 7th letting me know that the results would be released on May 15th at 5 pm. I would expect a similar timeline for this year.
Last year Penn sent an email on 5/7 at 5pm letting applicants know that decisions would be released on 5/15 at 5pm. Seems like @Adriansh is saying the same.
@Adriansh Do you know what is on average the minimum GPA required to transfer to Wharton from a different university? And do you know generally how many students they take each year?
@riteaid They typically do not release results by school and there is no way to know what the avg minimum GPA would be. Assume that it would be anywhere from a 3.7 - 4.0. Last year Upenn received 2,685 Transfer apps and accepted 205. These stats are available in their Common Data Set. You can google it.
No email yet huh
Nothing yet 
I called today and used āVanderbiltās student reply date is on the 9thā as my excuse to ask for their release date and they told me, āWe havenāt decided on a date yet but it is probably going to be late May or early June.ā
Late May/Early June it isā¦
Seriously? They never release it this lateā¦
I donāt know the average GPA for Wharton, but my understanding is that it is high (3.8+). There are seven Wharton transfers in my year, and the acceptance rates I have heard through the grapevine are ~2-3%.
I would be surprised if it were released that late. I could be wrong, but I imagine it is them trying to under-promise and over-deliver
Harvard and Brown both released their transfer decisions this year without any notification. They just dropped them and sent an email that there was a change to your portal. Again the assistant director of admissions of the Nursing school told my daughter to expect the decision between May 15th - 20th that was 2 weeks ago. The wait continues.
@NYCpapa thank you for that informationā¦ i hope it is correct. Correct me if I am wrong, but is the nursing school on a different schedule? I only ask because I know that the nursing school was still taking conducting interviews after the March 15th deadline for non-nursing transfer students.
All of the schools release admission decisions on the same day
@KekeAvika the nursing school is the only school that conducts interviews in the transfer round. All transfer decisions are released at the same time. Good luck! Try to stay positive and calm! I know thatās easier said than done.
I would certainly hope late May/early June is not true. Submitted a deposit to a fine institution but would be willing to forfeit the deposit for an opportunity at Wharton. I know many others are in that same boat. However, if many weeks go by and housing, class registration, orientation plans all start to be set, it would start to feel unethical pulling out of that commitment. If Penn were to really wait that long to communicate decisions after they have had information for as long as they have would demonstrate an arrogance that would be somewhat offputting.
Also, the March 15 deadline wasnāt a firm deadline. Only the application and writing supplement were due March 15. I was still submitting documents after the fact, and I know Iām not alone.
My daughter was accepted to Brown. They sent an email the week before and told them that they would be released the next week.
@phillytough No, you were not.
@phillytough oh, I definitely was as well.
