<p>Dude, didn’t you post this in the other thread???</p>

<p>What do you expect to hear? You obviously have a solid application with your GPA and ECs.</p>

<p>But it’s going to come down to how you present yourself in your essays and how well you articulate your reason for transferring to Penn. </p>

<p>With an acceptance rate hovering around 10%, some qualified applicants will miss out, but you have a good chance.</p>

<p>You asked this like at least three times both here and in the Penn forums. NO ONE KNOWS! You have a good GPA, test scores, and ECs, but so does pretty much everyone else that applied.</p>

<p>Thank you for your answers. They were very helpful.
By the way, I would like to apologize for posting my scores repeatedly. I was anxious because I really want to get into Penn and I got only one answer in the threads I posted. Even though I did not get satisfactory number of answers, I shouldn’t have posted the same thread. This will not happen again.</p>
