University of Pennsylvania Fall 2019 Transfer Thread

For the waived reports, did you all just not send it by April 1st?

@bros20000 From the information I have seen on this thread, the admissions at UPenn is efficient in their sorting. As a result, upon finishing their sorting, in order to prevent massive loads of additional information from being sent, I believe they reviewed the portion of my application that showed that I was not an entering sophomore and deemed it unnecessary. However, as this is all within my speculations, please take it with a grain of salt :slight_smile:

@AndovTransfer10 In my case, my grades were consistent with the rest of my application. However, due to a series of rather unfortunate events, I was unable to receive the signatures of all my professors by April 1st and thus was unable to send by April 1st.

@AndovTransfer10 mine was not waived and I just sent it yesterday

My mid term report was waived but thatā€™s because Iā€™m applying as a junior transferā€¦

@aussiedude My response was a roundabout way of saying what you said. I have a bad habit of describing things when they can be stated directly, as I dislike divulging personal information.

On the matter of the waived mid-term report, like @aussiedude stated, it probably doesnā€™t mean anything in terms of admissions. Rather, students applying to transfer as juniors probably have enough credits for admissions at UPenn to work with.

It says on their website, mid term reports are not required for incoming junior transfers.

Nothing to do with the admissions committee at all lol

How are people feeling for transfer decisions in the next few weeks?

Schoolā€™s getting tons busier now that weā€™re near finals but I still canā€™t stop thinking about transfer decisions everyday. Iā€™ve been trying to focus my mind on junior year at my current uni and focus on the good things I still have here but agh! The wait is hard!

Anyone have a FA checklist? I just see FA requirements.

I donā€™t have one that I can find. But I did follow all of the links and submit all required documents,

Me too- weird. Guess they donā€™t want to tell us its completed in the event they have extra requests for info?

Also, possibly they donā€™t care until they decide to admit you?

Could be, but they are the only school requesting everything on CSS profile so me thinks they scrutinize apps. (Kind of annoying to be in the dark tho)

It is kind of strange that there is no checklist on the portal, but we did get an email saying that they received the Penn financial aid supplement and that they would reach out when they completed and reviewed all of your documents. I am guessing that means they didnā€™t review financial aid docs yet.

When will the first wave most likely come?

May 15

@whereto2022 There are no waves there is a transfer decision day somewhere around May 15th. All decisions are released that day.

@Giulianna shoot me a message

@NYCpapa oh really? How do you know? Is it based off previous years?

Yes one release date. I think you are confusing this with wait listed applicants. Those are usually released in waves.

I donā€™t think it allows you to send individual messages on here @fazeattach
