UPenn Official Transfer Thread Fall 2007

<p>I applied to Wharton..</p>

<p>I have avg stats.. and I don't really see myself have a very appealing transfer reason since Michigan has a good business school (Ross)too..
But I just dont like Michigan. 0.-
The gloomy weather sucks.</p>

<p>I might will transfer again next year...
and I hv a feeling that I wont receive the email notification since I cannot get the login/password email from Upenn....</p>

<p>I applied to Wharton as well...avg stats... from wisconsin... I go to UCLA for fun. I;ve always wanted to be at Wharton.... and being deferred and then rejected last year wasn't fun.</p>

<p>hmmm i see... ive never been much of a businessman... i suck at selling things </p>

<p>My brother in laws thinking of applying to wharton.. hes like 30 though and he just got out of the army. He served in iraq and afghanistan as a chinook pilot and went to west point, but didnt do particularly well. I have no idea what his chances are, but i dont think theyre too good either.</p>

<p>Is your bro in law applying for grad Wharton? I assume his west point education has already given him an undergrad degree?
Ya. When I first checked out schools to apply, both my mom and I found out Upenn seems leaving some spots open just for transfer students.But now I don'tthink its the case for Wharton.</p>

<p>ooo good point, youre probably right... is it just as selective?</p>

<p>what are the transfer rates (respective schools) for Upenn last year?</p>

<p>I just looked at the dates of the decisions according to last year's transfers.</p>

<p>We will likely find out on one of these days: (this way, we can obsess about specific dates...)</p>

<p>Thursday, May 10 in the evening and Friday, May 11
Friday, May 18
Friday, June 1</p>

<p>yea i have a feeling im gonna be the june 1st batch for some reason haha</p>

<p>only like 3 more weeks to go.. woo</p>

<p>and i thought theyd be out may 1</p>

<p>but honestly, as of right now even if i get accepted i doubt i'd be able to go (financial reasons...) but i thought id see what theyd offer me anyway</p>

<p>and i think the transfer rates (off the top of my head...though i have a good memory) for last yr were like 170/2000 (8.5%) for entire applicant pool... but i know wharton's transfer rate is much lower so the CAS is probably slightly higher than that</p>

<p>Yea... but i think that they accept around 300, thats just the number of students that attend. Penn's transfer acceptance rate is something like 12%, and only like 60% of accepted people attend i think.</p>

<p>I got a letter from Penn today asking how long I was going to be at my present college address....does that mean anything? </p>

<p>i doubt they would care what address to send my rejection letter to...is it a good sign..or atleast i hope</p>

<p>yea that is a good sign id say, congrats!</p>

<p>what are your stats?</p>

<p>Were we originally supposed to turn in midterm grades with our app?</p>

<p>does anyone know when we can find out from this place? its torture already</p>

<p>i know what you mean. i wish we could find out soon. ive never been to philly but i heard its nice.</p>

<p>I got an e-mail saying that I needed to fulfill requirements for Wharton, namely an extra semester of calculus and macroeconomics, and asking if I had plans to fulfill them this summer. I told her I would be glad to forgo my trip to south africa this summer to take them at Wharton or elsewhere. Is this a good sign or a bad sign?</p>

<p>good sign . In if nelson mandela is your uncle.</p>

<p>whats with all this calling crapola-just let us know already and ask questions later</p>

<p>duobeef, what's your GPA? EHHHH! I'm so tired of waiting! I just really want to go to Wharton!</p>

<p>I got an email about missing materials on May 9 with this message (part of a list, the Xs to indicate what is missing):</p>

<p>"Form 4 (Mid-Term grade report)-XXXXXXXXX or unofficial final grades"</p>

<p>Does this mean I need to send them my final grades, which aren't even available now? Is this standard, or do you all think they want to see my final grades before they make a decision? (I hope that is not the case b/c this semester did not go too well...)</p>
