<p>semp is BACK mua ha ha ha ha</p>
<p>I have a buddy who's at penn doing a triple major including business at wharton. eh, he never gets out of his dorm room</p>
<p>The College at Penn is an excellent institution, and like any of its Ivy League peers, among the best liberal arts colleges in the country.</p>
<p>Anybody who says Wharton is the only good thing about Penn clearly doesn't really know that much about Penn (other than that he/she was rejected from it)</p>
<p>umm, actually I wasnt but, whatever</p>
<p>Thing is, I am more math-oriented. I would have done engineering only I don't want to be an engineer. However, business and econ seems to be like a nice healthy medium.</p>
<p>I initially applied College because I was too afraid of being "locked into" business, as I wanted freedom to see what I wanted to do. However, the more I look into it, the more business/econ really appeals...</p>
<p>"I would have done engineering only I don't want to be an engineer."</p>
<p>Haha, I know what you meant, but it just sounded funny.</p>
<p>ha, from what i've heard, that 3.7 aint as easy as it sounds. you have to be in the top 10-15% in practically every single class. Which is definitely extraordinary considering the overall competitiveness in Penn. </p>
<p>BTW, can someone tell me what the pass/fail deal is? Can i request a required course to be pass/fail?</p>
<p>The purpose of Pass/Fail at Penn is to let you take challenging electives withough blowing your GPA. </p>
<p>To quote:</p>
<p>Remember: you may not use the pass/fail option for General Requirement, major or minor courses, or for courses you take to fulfill the Language, Writing or Quantitative Data Analysis Requirements. </p>
<p>So, no, pretty much anything that's required is going to have to be taken for a letter grade.</p>
