<p>Hello,
I'd like to know if the GPA cutoff for dual degree (not one of the coordinated dual degrees) between engineering and Wharton vs engineering and the College is the same, or if it's harder to get into one vs the other.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>harder</p>
<p>minimum ~3.8 from anything non-wharton to wharton
3.0 to get into anywhere else</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I also wanted to clarify something else. On the Wharton website, it says undergrads graduate with a bachelors in economics, but I thought econ was a CAS major. Does that mean Wharton undergrads graduate with an econ major and a concentration (for example, finance), or that they graduate with an econ and finance major?
I’m just confused as to what my friends mean when they say they’re going for a “finance major”–is that an actual major or is finance a concentration?</p>
<p>Also, is it possible to get a dual degree from Wharton and SEAS without being in the M&T program? If I want to major in econ with a concentration in healthcare management as well as major in engineering, for example, do I absolutely have to be in M&T to do it, or can I apply for dual degree?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>wharton - bachelor of science in economics, concentrations in whatev
college - bachelor of arts in economics</p>
<p>dual degrees are possible</p>
<p>Thanks for clarifying!</p>
<p>There is no such thing as a GPA cut-off at Penn. Although, I do agree with tenebrousfire, in that 3.8+ is considered a strong GPA for Penn.</p>
<p>^ i was talking about internal transfer / dual degree, which does have a gpa cutoff</p>
<p>might have misunderstood the original poster’s question, but you can’t be accepted straight out of high school to a dual degree program outside of the joint degree programs</p>
<p>Oh, my bad.</p>
