Backdooring might be a b**** move... but does it work?

<p>So how easy is it to back-door at Penn? not for Wharton, but maybe into SAS?</p>

<p>i know of a guy who had decent stats, not good enough for Wharton or SEAS, but decent. he applied for Nursing, and being a male with decent stats he was basically a shoo-in. then after a year of nursing with a high GPA, he transferred to SEAS, did fine and got his degree. </p>

<p>is this type of thing commonplace? how much does the administration look down upon it or try to regulate it?</p>

<p>it's rather difficult to get into nursing if you haven't previously displayed interest in that side of healthcare</p>

<p>nursing admissions attempts to screen out obvious backdoor candidates</p>
