<p>you can look at it this way</p>

<p>a 3.7 is not good enough for students who are trying to transfer from the college at penn into wharton… (typically about a 3.8 required, and gpa is the only criterion there)</p>

<p>and the standard is higher for external transfers</p>

<p>Thanks for your help, so do i basically need a 3.8+ to apply?</p>

4

<p>would think so, yes</p>

<p>I think tenebrousfire is being too generous. There’s no way you could get in as a regular applicant with those stats and external transfers into Wharton is even harder…</p>

<p>i was trying to abide by my normal rule of not giving chances</p>

<p>(if you read between the lines)</p>

<p>but yeah, pretty much no chance there</p>
