UPenn Official Transfer Thread Fall 2007

<p>herewego98,
you should consider Cornell...you completed half of the recs for ILR and CALS that would help</p>

<p>Do transfers get interviews?</p>

<p>As an economics major, would it be easier to get accepted in the College of Arts and Sciences, or the Wharton School? How many of you that got accepted were sophmores? I hear it is harder to be accepted into your junior year, which is what I'd be doing.</p>

<p>To Sampson Clarck,
1. Economics is only offered in the College of Arts and Sciences. The Wharton School offers a business degree which is called a Bachelor of Science in Economics, but is NOT an economics degree.
2. The Wharton School is a lot smaller than the College of Arts and Sciences=>less space avaiable=>lower chances of getting accepted.
3. Most transfer spots filled up at the end of freshman year=>less spots available for sophomore year=>lower chances of getting accepted junior year.</p>

<p>ixjunitx, i am thinking about applying to cornell, but i am not sure if i would want to go there. if penn doesn't work i hoping i get into nyu or barnard. finals are killing me!</p>

<p>i am pretty sure transfers don't have interviews, at least not for penn.</p>

<p>Yeah, I know Wharton is a b-school (which is something I'm interested in) but since it is technically an economics degree. Less space doesn't necessarily mean that it's harder to gain admittance. Also, all other schools I've looked at say it doesn't matter what year you are applying, Penn has been the only exception.</p>

<p>How strict is Penn about completing the required "pre-req" courses?
Are we allowed to take them over the summer?</p>

<p>Does anyone know the transfer admission % for the CAS? Is your choice of major within each school factored into your decision?</p>
