Anything is possible. Community College students get in Ivies, top 20 schools, and etc. You have to show that you want it! Show that you can do well by achieving and maintaining a high GPA in college and doing ECs that are related to your major. In my opinion, when transferring, college ranking or the type of college you go to does not impact much in transfer admissions. I mean it does have some impact but I think it doesn’t have that much of an impact.

Waitlisted or not, you have to show that you are growing as an individual and strengthening all your weak points in your application. Above all, make sure you have an absolute beyond good reason for wanting to transfer and why UPenn fits you at best.
