Jerome fisher.. and other very interesting topics

<p>i hope my subject drew your attention (:</p>

<p>how difficult is it to get into the jerome fisher program? i believe you don’t apply for it you’re just invited… right? or do you select it on your college app? is it extremely selective or do a small number of students do it because only a small number are interested? or perhaps a combination of both?</p>

<p>how many upenn studetns get dual degrees in wharton and engineering? and if i apply to upenn… should i apply to the engineering school and get a minor/dual degree at wharton or the other way around? i’m afraid i won’t get into wharton and then i’ll be screwed ):</p>

<p>You apply for Fisher on the application. There is an additional essay for this joint-degree program.</p>

<p>It is very selective, yes.</p>

<p>If you want Fisher, do Fisher. You can always select a "base" school, meaning that if you don't get into the program, they will still evaluate you for one of the schools (Engineering, or Wharton).</p>

<p>there are 50 students per year in fisher. Its a ridiculously popular program. unofficially, the acceptance rates of Huntsman and Fisher are in the single digts/lowteens.</p>

<p>about a third of all SEAS students get more than one Bachelors.</p>

<p>boo, i was hoping that a relatively small number of studetns applied to fisher.</p>

<p>if i wanted to dual degree in business and engineering (and didnt get into fisher), should i apply to wharton or SEAS? i think it would be easier to get into SEAS but what is the norm?</p>

<p>The number of non-fisher Wharton/SEAS should be about the same as there are of fishers, I think.</p>

<p>Much more common for a SEAS-r to dual with Wharton than a Whartonite to dual with SEAS. SEAS isn't something you just "happen" to pick up.</p>
