If you are rejected from Wharton, you cannot apply to any other Penn school.

<p>Could this be stickied or something?</p>

<p>When you apply to Penn, you pick one school (unless applying to a joint degree program).</p>

<p>If you are rejected from Wharton, you are rejected from the entire university.</p>

<p>Seconded. I get that question all the time at school.</p>

<p>“Oh you didn’t get into Wharton? Did the general college accept you though?”</p>

<p><em>Sigh</em></p>

<p>roundhouse kick to the head for them.</p>

<p>To be clearer and more specific, the following should be stickied: </p>

<p>“If you are rejected from one school at Penn, you cannot apply to ANY other Penn school.”</p>

<p>The same is true for CAS rejects, SEAS rejects and Nursing rejects.</p>

<p>so is it easier to get into upenn regular undergrad over wharton?
at the end of the day, wharton is harder to get into, but is it more prestigious</p>

<p>It’s more ‘prestigious’ in the field of business, but less ‘prestigious’ if you want to go into anything else. You should apply to Wharton if you want to study business, the College if you want to study liberal arts, SEAS for engineering etc…Also bear in mind that there are many College and SEAS grads that have gone onto successful careers in business, and similarly many Wharton grads that have gone onto successful careers in law, medicine, the arts etc. Penn as a whole is one of the most prestigious school’s in the country, so you’d be better off applying to the division that interests you the most than the one that you feel may have marginally more prestige in its’ field.</p>

<p>you’re mistaken spartan08, when you call the other schools “upenn regular undergrad”…they’re just different schools…wharton just coincidentally has a separate name</p>

<p>accident of history.</p>

<p>Who wouldn’t want to name a school after this friendly-looking fellow:</p>

<p>The real problem is not renaming the whole school after Wharton when he gave a big wad of dough. Sticking with the state name was a terrible idea. At least The College of New Jersey was smart enough to change its name to Princeton in the 1890s.</p>

<p>Fun fact of the day (courtesy of my MGMT-111 prof): Joseph Wharton was an ardent protectionist and wanted the Wharton school to be an epicenter of pro-tariffs/quotas scholarship and activism…oops!</p>
