does anyone else trouble getting paragraph breaks into their essays in the common app? if so, any tips?
@collegestudent02 I emailed some of the other schools that I am applying to and they said to send the Mid Term Report by mail to their school. My school doesnāt have official Midterm grades, so Iāll have to manually fill out the form with each of my teachers. That isnāt due for a few weeks, but have it done soon. I havenāt started filling it out because we are still on week 6. For the College Report, I believe itās pretty much just a verification that you are in Good Standing with your current university. At my school, the process for getting this report was very complicated and required a waiting period. So, get on that ASAP.
Hi, does anyone know when we can start expecting decisions? I know applications arenāt even due yet, but I was just wondering what to expect.
Last year it was mid May
Hey guys,
Quick question for yāall. Iām applying to the College of Arts and Sciences, but Iām having trouble filling out my intended major on the common app. Underneath the academic section, I am only given the option to fill out my alternate major of interest. I assumed that it would give me an option for my primary major of interest and my alternate major of interest, but unfortunately it does not. Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks so much for the help in advance, and best of luck to whoever may be reading this!
@2019transfer I believe you can only apply to a single degree choice (Unless youāre applying to NETS or DMD, which is in SEAS) at CAS. Perhaps you could put down āindividualized majorā as an option? Then you can elaborate on your academic interests in your supplemental essays. I feel like that would make more sense 
Best of luck with your application!
Hey all I have been following this thread for a the last few months. My Daughter is finishing up her Transfer App. Anyone else here applying to the Nursing School? This process is as nerve wracking as the initial application processā¦I wish you all the best of luck!
@AndovTransfer10 where do you even find the midterm report/college report? Is it on a website somwhere?
@liddy6 you can find both forms on the common app for transfer, under supporting information and then the documents tab.
Also I spoke to Admissions office and they said you can send both college report and mid-term report after you submit your application.
I submitted the common application a week and a half ago but havenāt heard anything from Penn about setting up an application portal. Does anyone know if this is normal or whether I need to do something else?
@whata777 I believe you will get your log in info after the 3/15 deadline. What school to you apply to?
It was to Wharton
Good luck! Hope you get in!
Thanks very much!!
Iām trying to transfer into Wharton as a sophomore, is it okay not to have econ prereqs done? I didnāt take micro/macroecon in college because my school accepted my AP microecon and AP macroecon scores as creditsā¦ Would it be okay to take microecon and macroecon courses during the summer to fulfill their prereqs or is this totally going to prevent me from being considered as an applicant?
@vdesperate I think you should be ok, but I would call the admissions office and ask to be sure. Either way it should t stop you from applying and giving it your best shot.
Just look up āCommon App mid term reportā online. The College Report is through your schoolās registrars office. @liddy6
Should I apply to SEAS or Wharton?
Iām a prospective sophomore(currently freshman) transfer student, and Iām interested in CS+Business, so Iām thinking about applying to Wharton or SEAS.
If admitted to either one, Iām planning to apply to add another one anyway. Iām contemplating about where to apply for following reasons.
Reasons to apply to Wharton:
-Better grade in pre-requisite(I got A on intermediate microeconomics, whereas I got B+ on second intro programming class).
-FBLA national from high school.
Reasons to apply to SEAS:
-Very competitive, but I heard that Wharton is the most competitive school to get in.
-The āWhy transferā essay talks more about why CS department in my current school isnāt a good fit for me.
I would appreciate if you could give some advice.
Also, is applying to add another one more difficult from one school(Adding SEAS degree from Wharton vs Adding Wharton degree from SEAS)?
@Faexpopuli you should be applying to the school that is the best fit for you. Both schools are extremely difficult to get into. Make sure you avoid negative comments about your current school they do not like that.
In your essay as long as you explain that CS is what you want and the school doesnāt have what you want then that is ok.
