Oh, no...my electronic transcript has been sent to admissions2@seas.upenn.edu, but I would also submit my application soon (at least before Nov 15th). Would this be a problem?

Xinyi, it will not be a problem. It is just easier for us if we've already received the application before we get documents for the application. But not to worry, it should be fine. Just so I can check, can you tell me your full name?

Hello Will, I am applying for MCIT program. I major in Electrical Engineering as undergrad, but I have taken only two introductory CS course. I wonder EE major will be treated as a CS related major, and do you have a rough estimate of how many EE applicants are admitted to MCIT each year? Thank you!

Ken, I'm sorry, but we don't have information regarding the number of people that have a specific major that are admitted to the MCIT program each year. As for your question, no, it will not be treated as a CS-related major unless the vast majority of your coursework was CS.

Xinyi, we have received your electronic transcript. Once you've submitted the application, please send an email to admissions2@seas.upenn.edu, letting us know. That way we can upload the transcript right away.

Will, thanks a lot for all of your answers! My last question, can the unofficial transcript uploaded in applyweb be the scanned copy of my paper transcript?
AvatarWill Fenton, Asst Dir

Xinyi, yes, that is fine.
Although, as I mentioned, we've already received your electronic transcript.
