UW to Penn: Transfer

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi</p>

<p>I just go accepted to UW(Univerity of Washignton). Although, I got rejected by the ivy leagues(except top three). I was wondering what are my chances if i transfered to Penn next year.</p>

<p>High School
GPA: 3.89 (3/4 of classes are replacemnt courses for bad grades)
SAT: M 680, R 640, W 610
Extracurricular: TaeKwonDo, Bunch of Work Hours, Band, Chess
Alumni: Three related</p>

<p>UW
GPA: 3.7 (assuming)</p>

2

<p>not great. im assuming penn will accept less than 10 kids for transfer next year and a 3.7 with a 1320 doesn't out you in good position for that. are you oos for uw?</p>

3

<p>Probably slim chances.</p>

4

<p>depends on the school at penn to which you want to transfer...</p>

5

<p>Im trying just of General College of Arts.....
I probably be taking heavy dose of economics both micro and macro</p>

<p>Anyone know my chances at any other ivy league school?? Any good chances?</p>

6

<p>I could also apply to Wharton which is where my alumnis are related. Assuming i take lots of economic courses this could help although im not sure. </p>

<p>Could it help if I took the SATs again....</p>

7

<p>yes it would definitely help.</p>

<p>im assuming wharton is quite hard to crack especially transferring in. you may be better off applying as a freshman to the program</p>

8

<p>it is more realistic for you to try to transfer to the college, not to wharton.</p>

<p>I'm just wondering, were you waitlisted at UW and the ivies? Why did you just get your acceptance letters?</p>

<p>I got directly into UW</p>

<p>But I didnt get placed into any waitlist
Im sort of planning this out...I think my chances would be much better if i applied as a transfer because my old grades and scores wouldnt mean as much</p>

11

<p>Does anyone know my chances at any other ivies....better chances than Penn</p>

<p>as previously stated its very hard to tell and with many ivy's you have a very poor chance unless you are applying to less-than uber competitive special programs (see penn nursing or cornell hotel management) ive heard yale admits like 5 transfers a year meaning you stand against great odds. pwn UW get a 4.0 get great recs and maybe you can crack an ivy but it will be tough</p>
