<p>I originally applied for the Jerome Fisher Prog. for my PENN’s admission, but then they declined me and put me into the school of Engineering. However, I still wanted to do business or finance in Penn, so is that possible for me to double up my major with both BME and business in Penn, though I did not get in the jerome fisher prog. in the first place. Thanx </p>
<p>Besides that, I also got into the BME in JHU, and over there I will be able to take a minor on business management. So it really comes down on Penn’s ability to offer me both busi. and BME to make my decision. Please help me decide.</p>
<p>P.S. If I could double up my major there, I’ll definitely go to Penn!!!</p>
<p>jerome fisher makes it much easier to do both wharton and engineering because it drops some extra requirements... i think jerome fischer is around 45 to 50 c.u. to graduate (approx 5-6 c.u. per semester)... if you are not in jf, then it takes much longer to graduate cuz it's more credit units... penn doesn't offer business economics minor... only biz major and engineering minor...</p>
<p>damn it, that sux, but i still wanted to double up, no matter what, if that's the case, i guess i have to stay in penn much longer...
venturefun, do u know how long wuld it take to graduate with the double mojor?</p>
<p>If you want to double up with BME and Wharton, then check out the BAS. The program got beefed up with the 2008 class (4 more engineering requirements), but is doable in 4 years. Though you would need early planning and semesters w/ 6-7 CU's plus possible summer sessions.</p>
<p>Jerome Fishcer (M&T) takes about 42-43 credits, depending usually on which SEAS major you take. </p>
<p>Dual Degree takes around 46-48 credits, again, depending on the SEAS major.. </p>
<p>Both these program are able to be completed in 4 year for sure.. you might have to take a lot of classes each semester (6 or so credits) but hey, you are coming out with two degrees .</p>
<p>If you were rejected M&T now, you can reapply at the end of freshman year.. granted it's incredibly competitive and you usually have to have around a 4.0. </p>
<p>Dual Degree you can also apply to at the end of your freshman year, but it's not <em>as</em> competitive.. usually requires around a 3.6-3.7 GPA</p>
<p>If you got into jhu's biomed program, and are looking at going into engineering for sure, id definitly go there. their biomed is incredibly competitive to get into, and is #1 or 2 in the nation (basically tied with duke). I feel like theres more opportunities at penn because it does have a better name and is a larger institution</p>
<p>so if i wanted to combine business and engineering and was already rejected from m&t, my only alternative is to do dual-degree, which is even harder than m&t and might take me longer to graduate? is it likely i would graduate in 4.5 or 5 years if i did dual-degree?</p>
<p>A) you can still apply to M&T after freshman year (though it's very hard to get into)
B) You can definitely graduate in 4 years if you want to with a dual.. you'd probably have to take a summer, but that's about it, as long as you plan it well</p>
<p>No its not. JF is engineering and business. Harvard is liberal arts. Which one are you more interested in? If you're only thinking about prestige, then it would be hard since both are fine programs/institutions.</p>
<p>i was set on going into business... but i am not 100% sure of that decision... that is the only reason why i'm doubting jf.. and to be honest, i didn't even want jf at first, my friend said applying to that will increase my chance at my single degree program so i just wrote an essay in an hour and checked off 120 - JF on my app. i got in somehow... so it wasn'tmy dream or anything...</p>
<p>the reason why i think JF is good for me is that i don't want to ONLY study business, i want a supplementry field such as engineering or applied math or w.e to back up my economics and business degree so i can be more well rounded.. i'm 90% sure on business... not 100%</p>
<p>harvard would give me more options IN CASE, after taking a bio or w.e class, i might want to go into something else. my strength is math and physical sciences... i actually got emails from ppl who chose MT over harvard. they tried to convince me to go MT.... :p</p>
