<p>Joe:I talked to Eddrena on the phone because I have a different issue, but it sounded like it shouldn’t be a problem. I would suggest you call her. Since the mail situation is different for anyone. Plus, Eddrena was super nice on the phone.</p>
<p>shootdapuck: Did you found out about your housing assignment yet?</p>
<p>haha nope! I plan on calling today during my lunch break. Am I the only one who didn’t apply for a residential program who has not been assigned a room yet?</p>
<p>shootdapuck: I’m in the same boat as you. Please post how your conversation with housing goes, because I’ve called a few times and been unable to get a definite answer.</p>
<p>Kyle: I talked to housing today (215-898-8271), and at least for MY case, I will be hearing next week or so about my assignment (I have an email to confirm it). I had to wait so long because my top choices were all in the hotly-contested high-rises. Since I checked the “put me anywhere” box, Mark Griswold (the Assignment Specialist) said that I WILL have an on-campus room, and won’t need to worry about off-campus housing. If you are still in doubt, give the number above a call, as everyone’s case might not be different. Also, keep in mind I did NOT apply for a special residential program.</p>
<p>hey fellas, ive been working around with the XCAT site and i was wondering about smth. there’s that course matching thing which pairs one of ur courses with a Penn equivalent. I took a stat class last semester and it listed it as ECON103 (statistics for econ or smth). im goin into wharton and we need to take stat101. i looked at the respective syllabus and it seems like Stat101 matches my stat class better than Econ103. should I just use the “not listed” tool and request it as a Stat course at Penn? also, if that doesnt work out shud I just take my stuff at the start of school and talk to the department? and one more thing, is it the credit office/stat office that determines the course or my wharton advisors?</p>
<p>I also took a Stats class last year and I couldn’t upload the transfer credit request on XCAT. I actually tried uploading my Stats docs to the Mathematics Department anyway, but because only Wharton has Stats classes, my transfer credit application was denied by the Math Department.</p>
<p>Wharton is the only school that hasn’t jumped on board to XCAT credit evaluations, so you’ll have to pick up a transfer credit form from the undergraduate office once you get on campus. Then you can apply for Wharton Stats credit.</p>
<p>(I tried getting them to physically mail or e-mail me the form to get it over with already, but they said that there’s no rush and I should just do it once I’m in Philly… do let me know if you’re successful in getting a copy!)</p>
<p>Hey, I know this is kind of late, but I just found out about the XCAT thing. Were we supposed to upload all our previous credits on XCAT already!!! Because when I called the admissions office, they told me that we would be doing credit evaluations once we got there in the fall… Also, am I the only one not getting any type of letters/emails from Penn?? Becaues the only thing I actually got from Penn was the admission letter and an email from a student who said she was my transfer student advisor… Any info regarding this would be mucho appreciated!!!</p>
<p>Hey Paperrev, direct message me your e-mail and I’ll forward you the General Info doc I received from the Transfer Coordinator.</p>
<p>I just sent you a PM. Thank you so much! :D</p>
<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I know this may be too much to ask, but I am applying for transfer next year and was wondering if anyone that got accepted could share their essays with me?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it</p>
<p>Hey fellas, I got a few questions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>should we address our transcripts to Eddrena or just to the Office? I sent it to the office.</p></li>
<li><p>should we list all our courses on XCAT or should we wait until the transfer credit evaluation on upenn campus?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>thanks!</p>
