Greetings all!
I'm currently a freshman at the University at Albany who intends to try and transfer into UPenn in the Fall of 2017.
I was wondering how much my old SATs from high school would be weighed in my transfer application as a junior?
Due to personal issues/reason my high school stats are awful, with a 2.7 GPA and 1560 SAT.
However things are looking pretty grand for me now in the University at Albany I just finished my first semester with a 3.68( Should have been a 4.0 but I had absences at the beginning) and there is a good chance of me gaining admittance into the Honors College there. As far as ECs I joined a well known business organization and volunteered some of my time to at The Ronald McDonald Charity House. I am very intent on finishing out my freshman and sophomores years with 4.0s and ending up with a cumulative 3.92 GPA (With Honors courses). If it matters I come from a household that only brings in 20K or less a year as well and I am the first from a family of middle eastern immigrants to attend college.
My major is Business/Finance and I do plan on building up my resume further to become a qualified applicant. ( Scholarships, further volunteering, etc.)
My question is though..
I know UPenn requires transfers to send in their SAT and HS stats but as a junior will my poorer stats hurt me even though I've had an exceptional undergrad career?
With a school as selective as Upenn Wharton I'm very worried that I'd have to take the SAT as college junior
