Answer 1

I doubt that you will be able to find very many Wharton transfer students. The University of Pennsylvania accepts very few transfer students each year (about 175 out of 1900 applications). I suspect that very few of them are accepted into Wharton. Wharton accepts very few transfer students -- and most of them are from other colleges at Penn.

I taught at Wharton for three years (both MBA students and undergraduates). I liked the undergraduates a lot. I found them uniformly intelligent -- but also found them overly competitive. If you can get in, go there. But you should have a backup plan. MIT, Michigan and Berkeley are the other premier undergraduate B-Schools. I've taught at MIT and got my PhD at Berkeley -- and can attest to the fact that both have great programs for undergraduates. MIT doesn't accept very many transfer students either. But Berkeley and Michigan do -- since they are state schools.
