like, would there be a better chance for me to get in to UPenn if i applied under nursing instead of business? are there different departments to apply to? like i would apply to upenn’s business school separately from upenn’s math department?
<p>Penn has separate undergraduate schools (Wharton, Engineering, SAS, Nursing). You have to apply to one of the these schools, not to the departments (as far as I know). Some are less difficult to get into than others, so in that sense, yes the major does affect admission chances. I don't believe your major within each of these schools affects chances, however. At some other schools, major definately has a large influence on admission chances. For many others, it has little if any influence.</p>
