<p>No, the GPA for dual is based on where you're going, not where you are in. That is 3.66 to get into Wharton, 3.0 to get into CAS.</p>

<p>It is also based entirely on GPA. The difficulty or number of your courses, your school, your activities, your high school record, your awards, etc have no impact on the process.</p>

<p>thats complete ********...it is way harder for someone in SEAS to get a 3.66 as opposed to someone in CAS...your telling me they dont take any of that into consideration</p>

23

<p>Yes that is the case. </p>

<p>But even if you're in SEAS, you are not forced to take any classes relevant to the curriculum, so you can essentially take 4 BS classes rather than 5.5 normal science classes and ace your way through your freshman year. Of course, that would strain your later years in terms of courseload if you stick with SEAS, but if getting into Wharton is all there is in the world, then you may do that.</p>

<p>well no getting into wharton is not all there is in the world...i chose engineering for a reason...but i really thought it would be great to graduate with a degree from wharton as well...and yea that is something i could do...but i def dont wanna screw myself for the rest of my years</p>

<p>how easy is it to minor in SEAS or CAS for someone in Wharton</p>

<p>I also would like to get a dual degree from CAS and Wharton. (I'm currently in CAS.) Although most of the comments above say it isn't too hard, (fortunately:)) it still seems to me that I would need a lot of pre-planning with an advisor. This is where I start to get worried. Given the larger size of Penn, is it hard to gain some quality time with an advisor? Also, while on the topic, does Penn feel too big for any of u?</p>

<p>Basically if you want to enhance your chances of getting into Wharton also, you have to start using all your electives on the basic Wharton courses (Finance, Statistics, Economics, Marketing, Management) and get A's in them. And stand up to the stigma you'll get in your classes of being a College student trying to crash Wharton.</p>
