<p>How hard is it to transfer into wharton. I heard most the time its 3.7+. Is it even worth appyling with a 3.6 from Rutgers as a junior transfer?</p>
<p>it is ridiculously hard. i believe you need a 3.6 just to apply.</p>
<p>You need a 3.4 to apply. The cutoffs though vary depending on availability -- they just take them in descending GPA order. Usually the cutoffs are in the high 3.6 range.</p>
<p>so do you even think I should apply to wharton with a 3.6 or should I apply to like Stern instead.</p>
<p>you should be a little worried with a 3.6 but you dont lose anything applying</p>
<p>"You need a 3.4 to apply." </p>
<p>That is only for internal transfer -transferring between the schools at Penn.</p>
<p>Oh you're right. Nevermind me!</p>
<p>whats the average gpa for wharton transfers anyway?</p>
<p>bump........</p>
<p>For Wharton transfers it can be anywhere from 3.4 to a 3.7 threshold (rounded) as a sophomore. As a junior I think it's anywhere from 3.5 to 3.85 or something. If you're doing internal transfer into something like M&T (you can't transfer externally I believe) you need a 3.9, recs, and other class requirements. For external transfers into Wharton these numbers are most likely higher than they are for internals. Regardless, even at Penn it is challenging in my opinion. Not a lot of rising sophomores that I know of have a 3.7+ GPA (speaking for all four schools here), and the cutoffs tend to rise with each year I think.</p>
<p>im applying to wharton for the class os 2009. so far i have a GPA of 3.65. Do i have a good chance?</p>
<p>why hello everyone. I stumbled upon this thread, and I could probably help.. as I did tranfer externally to wharton last fall. I'd say 3.6 from rutgers is a long shot. 3.65 same. From what I know of external transfer success stories, I think you're looking at at least 3.8 from a top rated school. also, you ought to have some good extra currics and recommendations on top of that. Snipanlol, you're right. GPA cutoffs are only for internal transfers. There is no cutoff for external transfer. It's a holistic application, just like the freshman application. Also, you can't transfer into wharton internally after you have transferred to another school at penn as an external transfer. Hope this helps!</p>
<p>Alright this is the latest info. The cutoff this year for wharton internal transfer/dual degree was 3.70, up from 3.66 last year.</p>
<p>Damn... I guess I have no chances next year...</p>
<p>Got in as an internal transfer! 3.70 was the cutoff.</p>
<p>legend of max do you have any advice for someone who is thinking about making a CAS to wharton internal transfer? is it as simple as taking math 104, econ 001, econ 002, getting a 3.7 and profitting?</p>
<p>anything that suprised you about the process?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>so 4.0 at a community college with decent recs and quite impressive test scores is probably a no right...i'm thinkin i'll apply to the college at penn for economics instead. is that easier?</p>
<p>haha max, i'm in too. See you at orientation on the fifth.</p>
<p>newedition: that's basically all you need. there are some hoops to jump through during the application process though, like paperwork and advisor meetings</p>
<p>It is easier to get into the College but if you do it with the intent of backdooring you will probably get canned. I applied to the College with serious intent of actually following through with the College until I realized that it perhaps wasn't for me. I still plan to take College courses.</p>
<p>newedition: Technically, but it is not so simple to pull off. A lot of people either: 1. Don't get into the College in the first place 2. Fail to pass Math 104 3. Take too few classes (you need 8 at the minimum) 4. Have too low a GPA. The cutoff seems to rise every year. Most of my grades were A's but I did have a dip in grades second semester. Grades that are less than A really have quite a lot of downward weight on it all. A 3.7 is like saying "I had a A- average in all my classes" and this is the bare minimum here. Not a whole lot of people that I know have 3.7+. It's not high school :P</p>
<p>MichaelJ: Are you a dual or single candidate?</p>
<p>I'm dualling SEAS/Wharton at the moment, who knows what will happen in the future. And yeah, I agree. Although the 3.7+ is not impossible really (UPenn is not nearly as cutthroat as I thought it would be), it's definitely ridiculous how you're sad about getting an A- cuz it'll lower your GPA</p>
