Dual Degree Essay Dilemma

<p>If I'm planning on applying to a dual degree program at Penn, how will I answer the question that asks why I am a good fit for my undergraduate school choice. In the program, I'll be constantly taking classes in two school. Would I talk about both schools that I'm interested in?
Thanks</p>

<p>No. You should focus primarily on the school you’ve designated as your backup. It’s a good idea to mention LSM as one of the opportunities that interests you, but don’t focus on it too much. Btw I’m a current LSM student, so feel free to PM me if you need any help about anything application-related.</p>

<p>Just talk about the specific combination of the two schools and selected majors within the program and why that’s an optimal fit for you. Also don’t be bland and talk about just the schools, be creative. You want them to see the program as a potential future aspect of your aspirations, and not as your only pathway to success. Talk about the school, but also talk about you.</p>
