A student at the University of Pennsylvania who transfers into the university's Wharton School of Business after a year at another of the schools, most typically the undergraduate College. Wharton expects a first-year GPA of 3.7 to allow transfer. A student often does this because it is seen as easier to accomplish than to be admitted to Wharton straight out of high school. Wharton has higher SAT and GPA expectations for students than Penn's other schools - the College, Nursing, Engineering, etc.

The moment at birth, examining a family photo, or just at random when you realize your offspring look nothing like the silicone bag bearing, botox injected, liposucked, rhinoplasted, forehead lifted, and tummy tucked person you call your wife.
