<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>The UPenn application is due soon and I am bit torn over whether to apply to Wharton or to SAS. I am interested in both political science and in business, but I am just unsure where to apply to. I know that Wharton is virtually the top undergrad school for business and would love to go there.</p>
<p>Does anybody knwo the admissions rate for Wharton?
how easy is it to transfer between schools?</p>
<p>I have a 96 GPA, 2170 SAT (perfect math), and an 800 in math (Sat2 lvl. 2)
and a lot of extracurriculars.</p>
<p>Do you think it's worth it to study political science at Penn and study that or just apply directly to Wharton? Do I have more opporunity in the world as a political science major or as a business major?</p>
<p>I'd like your ideas, especially if you go to Penn..
Thanks</p>
<p>It’s super competitive to transfer</p>
<p>That’s all i know. Good luck! Try posting this on the Penn forum.</p>
<p>Wharton harder to get into. So for me i applied to Wharton because i know i’ll only go to penn if i get into wharton. However, i have friends who said it’s easier to transfer into Wharton than to get into. but like cloud said…it’s super competitve to transfer</p>
<p>since you’re interested in political science, did you consider huntsman? (actually, never mind. it’s probably too late.)</p>
<p>Transferring is no picnic (I am a transfer, myself) – you need a 3.8 GPA or better after your first year with credit for Math 104 and Micro/Macroecononomics. An A- average is a 3.7 GPA, for reference. </p>
<p>Is it easier to get into Wharton after having been accepted to CAS first? I think it depends on the person (a LOT of people apply and don’t make the cut). If your true interest is in business right off the bat, though, apply directly to Wharton. You don’t want to apply to CAS only to find that you were unable to get the 3.8 GPA for transfer. The transfer option is there for people who have good grades and find they are more interested in another discipline. </p>
<p>The cutoffs are a function of free room and they fill the free spaces by descending GPA order (hence, seats tend to be filled around the 3.8 mark).</p>
