<p>I want to apply to Wharton, but I know that I don’t have quite enough credentials to get into there, so I’m applying to the School of arts and sciences, which i figure to have fair chances.</p>
<p>Since I practically know that I can’t get into Wharton, I plan on majoring in Economics at the school instead. Does this sound like a good plan as an alternative?</p>
<p>Depends. What are your career goals?</p>
<p>Personally I subscribe to the "all or nothing" theory, but I see why you would choose this. I think you know you're not going to get the prestige that your fellow wharton-ers will. But I don't think it's a bad idea either, unless you want to go into one of the really prestigious business careers like i-banking. I'm rambling so sorry if this makes no sense :p</p>
<p>Hopefully, I'll end up owning my own buisness; I'm not quite sure in which industry yet. I think that if I take the entrepreneurship contrentration as a minor in my curriculumn, it would gear me more towards my career goals.</p>
<p>U could try to do a dual degree. Or of course u could just do a liberal arts degree, find out what your passion is, and if you still want to start your own business u could go to wharton for your MBA.</p>
<p>Wharton does not offer any minors so you can't minor in Entrepreneurship. There are University Minors that combine courses across schools, but there isn't one related to Entrepreneurship.</p>
<p>In addition, you cannot get a concentration in Wharton unless you are a Wharton student, just the way Wharton students can't get a major in another school unless they are in that school as a dual degree student.</p>
<p>thanx whartonalum for clearing that up; I went to a UPENN regoinal meeting and I got things a little mummbled together.</p>
