Did you apply to Penn last year and were denied?

Could you retake the SAT? That is VERY low for Penn, 2000 would still be low. 2200 is average for Penn. Unless you are an athlete or have another hook.

And I’m wondering, if you have only been at Villanova for a month, how can you be sure you will get good enough recommendations? They do have to note how long they have known you and in what capacity.

I would think that if you plan to apply, you should put a LOT of energy into developing relationships with the professors who you will ask to do your recommendations. You should let them know NOW of your intentions, and see how they feel. Many professors will do recommendations, but as a professor, I know there would be only a handful of students who I have done recommendations for who I would support to transfer.
