<p>Because Wharton is much harder to get in... right?</p>
<p>No, you apply to one or the other. You cannot apply to both unless you apply for the dual degree program where you can select the other school as the back up.</p>
<p>Correct; I agree with Anewcrown. </p>
<p>Dual program first (one of Huntsman, Vagelos, J Fisher M&T, etc), and then you’re allowed to pick a “normal school selection” like Wharton, CAS, Engineering, Nursing as a back-up choice…which would only come into play if you don’t get into your one choice of dual degree program.</p>
