Hi I was wondering is it better to apply to Wharton as a transfer student ( us permanent resident ) or as a freshman (international)?
My HS GPA is very good (with the exception of one year and I have a reason for that) also I have very good ecs.
I need financial aid for college.

Penn takes very few transfers every year, so in that sense you have a higher chance applying as a Freshman. It is very competitive to get into Penn or Wharton. They accept quite a few internationals who are exceptional students and full-pay.
but If I apply to penn as a transfer I will be considered a domestic student does it improve my chances?
Sorry I don’t know enough about that.
Generally, transfers are few open slots. I am sure how admissions differ for internationals vs resident. Will u be full pay?
Also, colleges may consider an US citizen studying abroad as international too, so it’s not the same definition as immigration.
