Important to note:

• The University does not admit freshmen at mid-year.
• Students who leave college at the end of their first term may apply to the freshman class entering in the subsequent September.
• Students who are completing their senior year of high school concurrently with their first year of college should apply as freshmen.
• External Transfer students entering in Fall 2020 and earlier must follow the appropriate 40 course unit course planning guide.
• Incoming sophomore transfer students are eligible to apply for a dual-degree program with the College after completing one year (eight course units) at Penn or for a dual-degree program with Wharton after one semester. Applicants should follow, as closely as possible, the courses outlined for the major.
• External transfers admitted to the School of Engineering and Applied Science are not eligible to transfer again within the University.
• Students holding undergraduate degrees in science-related fields are not encouraged to pursue a second degree, but should consider a graduate degree.
