<p>I’m very interested in the Jerome Fisher program but I realize it is an extremely selective program. Is it possible to double major in engineering and maybe management or economics at Wharton if not accepted into the Jerome Fisher, and if it is posssilbe is that route almost impossible to undertake?..</p>
<p>I think that if you apply to only one school--i.e. not a special program--then you cannot double major with another school...you are in one school or another unless you are accepted to a program...i'm sure you know that you can put down an alternate if you don't get accepted to Jerome Fisher, so that in that case you'll be considered for either SEAS or Wharton...it is possible, however, to undertake a minor which involves study at another one of the schools...Hope this helped a tliile bit...Best of Luck!</p>
<p>wrong...it can be done</p>
<p>for example, i may do a dual degree between the college and wharton BUT is not the huntsman program</p>
<p>u can do it, but there are many requirements so you need to get started early</p>

<p>It's possible by having a dual degree from both Wharton and SEAS. For example, after taking one year in engineering, you can apply for a SEAS-Wharton dual degree if you meet the grade and courses requirements.</p>
<p>Be prepared to to take A LOT of courses... I would assume 5 per semester at a minimum and probably a lot of 6 per semesters.</p>
<p>There is an advisor in Wharton who is the go to on this. You will find her a useful resource and it is advisable to contact her and a SEAS advisor....it is done it is not as bad as some may have you believe and on a personal note Whartonites take 5 all the time. Six is doable and don' forget you can do a summer....

<p>Yea, the best thing about the joint-degree programs is that they are designed to minimize courseload. But do email Tiffany.</p>
<p>hmmm...i stand corrected...mab i'll try that</p>
<p>Penn has lots of opportunity for participating in the different schools. Don't be afraid to look for what you want. Get the most education you can for your tuition dollar.</p>
<p>thanks everyone!</p>
<p>Still no reply from Tiff... fingers crossed</p>
<p>That thing about making the most of your tuition dollar is a great point - when you do a dual degree and leave penn with 2 bachelors degrees you don't pay any more in tuition than you would as a single degree student (unless you stay in the summer or for another year). Gotta love that.</p>
<p>Hi I'm an M&T.</p>
<p>Yeah JFM&T is hard to get into, unofficially the acceptance rate is in the single digits. (a lot of the kids who don't get in end up in Penn Engineering or Wharton however, so they're still in the Penn pool)</p>
<p>The advantage of the jnt degree program is that it makes getting a dual degree easier - some requirements are compacted and rolled together. as a participant in the program, there is a little bit of extra prestige on campus and professors want you in their courses since M&ts tend to be pretty cream.</p>
<p>IF not accept to JFM&T, you can still take the classic dual degree route by application. This is tough, because there's a stiff GPA cut off. I'm not sure what it is specifically.. Probably about 3.7.</p>
<p>you'll have to take a lot of courses, depending on your engineerng major - e.g. i['m in chemical, and i'm taking 6 or 7 a semester. chemical and Bio are prolly the hardest engineerings to roll w/ wharton. systems and compsci are significantly easier.</p>
<p>Feel free to ask more questions :)</p>
