Integrated Studies is in no way intended to decrease the number of internal transfers. It’s easy to transfer to CAS/SEAS/Nursing. It just takes a 3.0 but most people don’t do it.

Wharton requires about a 3.8, and there is a huge demand for transfer. There are several applicants for every spot in Wharton that frees up. Many students enter Penn hoping to transfer to Wharton. Even if IS were meant to discourage transfers, and ended up cutting the Wharton transfer pool by half, every free spot in Wharton would still fill up. Just maybe with a 3.6 gpa minimum.
