Joint degree essay

<p>for the joint degree essay that asks about your interest, did you guys who got accepted write about practically the same thing in your penn general “why penn” essay? Or did you separate them? </p>

<p>ie. if applying to m&t, Penn general essay was about your interest in technology, while m&t essay was about how management will nicely supplement and could easily be integrated into your technologically-focus career. OR Penn and m&t essays were about interest in both management and technology, but you highlight different subjects in each essay.</p>

<p>hope my question isn’t too confusing :)</p>

<p>say why you want to do tech and business together... IE you want to be the CEO of a .com or something liek that</p>

<p>thanks! I have another question :) does it matter if we mention that we are applying to a joint-degree in our general "why penn" essay?</p>

4

<p>i mentioned it...its part of WHY i wanted to go to Penn</p>

5

<p>kinetic, you're doing M&T too? I thought you were just doing SEAS but M&T is most definitely cooler :)</p>

6

<p>I...didn't mention it, I didn't talk about Huntsman/Wharton specifically in my Why Penn essay, and left it out of my joint-degree essay also.</p>

7

<p>I think the joint degree essay is asking you to write about something that interests you... not necessarily why you want to go to Penn. In my 'Why Penn' I wrote about me wanting to go to Penn and be in the Huntsman Program, but then for my Huntsman essay, I wrote about sustainable economic development.</p>

8

<p>in my why penn essay I wrote like 3 lines about how I found hte huntsman program... then in my huntsman essay I wrote about how I want to be a consultant for an adverstising firm and how global viewpoints on different stuff create barriers in business and you need people who know both sides and that type of thing. I don't think I actually mentioned Huntsman or Penn in my essay at all actually.</p>

<p>(got in btw)</p>

<p>@athlonmj: I originally only planned on SEAS, but then decided to shoot for the stars :) If I don't get joint-degree, there's always my first-choice major.</p>

11

<p>kinetic, thats the same idea i had. Maybe applying to fisher will actually hlep us out. Anyways, its so crazy to get in...wow.</p>

12

<p>faux - thats what i wanna do as a profession or at least something of the type</p>

13

<p>My friend who is M&T '08 tells me most Fischer applicants are just SEAS people who want to try for something higher.</p>

14

<p>haha. that makes a lot of sense.</p>
