UPenn supplement essay expects a specific, well-researched reason to take admission to the university. Students can include their overall experience, which comprises particular classes, clubs, research, programs that excite them, professors, and more. If students are specific for school e.g  Wharton, Engineering, they must mention how and why they fit. Also, include how Penn will align with your academic and career goals.

The acceptance rate at UPenn is just 6%. This acceptance rate justifies that this university is difficult to get into. Those students who participate in volunteer work, extracurriculars, have good grades in the previous studies can get admission to UPenn.

According to officials, UPenn believes in conducting a thorough review of the applications once they are received. Review includes various factors that are beyond academics. Although academics will remain of the most important factors, things like extracurricular activities, community service and interests outside the classroom are highly crucial.

Yes, you can change your major at the University of Pennsylvania, however, the ease of changing your major depends on the school within the university, you wish to switch to.

Changing a major at the College of Arts & Sciences (CAS) is relatively straightforward, however, doing so at a different school say the Wharton School is far more competitive & requires better academic requirements from students.

Yes, it is possible to transfer to UPenn from your current university or college, however, the requirements vary based on the school, you opt to apply to.

Penn requires students to complete one-half of the total number of courses at the institute itself, regardless of the number of credits you have attained at your present institute.

The Wharton School & School of Engineering only accept student from the second year, the School of Nursing & College of Arts accept both second & third-year transfer students.

Students can contact the UPenn Family Resource Center, to be guided with the housing process.
