I’m certainly no expert, but since no one else has answered you…

Every year, SEAS sees a good number of students transfer out - that is because engineering is harder than they thought, or they decided engineering is not what they want to do.

Of course, SEAS plans for this. So it is hard to say how many students they need or want to transfer in in any given year.

You got a 3.5 in a top school, but did you get your As in the toughest courses?

And your SAT 2s might be of interest to admissions - this, in addition to your GPA, would reflect how well you can handle the very demanding coursework.

I would think if you nail the essays, making Penn feel you’re a good fit, you stand a very good chance. Good luck.
