<p>I thought your advisor was a dude...</p>
<p>Go to this space and there is a planning/requirements function that you can plug in and look at what you need. As for the language I don't know if I understand what you mean....fulfills requirement. Why would any one specific course fulfill the requirement.</p>
<p>Well like Math 104 fulfills Section 4. I mean I don't see evidence of a "language requirement" anywhere.</p>
<p>Zant: Yeaa whatev</p>
<p>Edit: I see no requirement or planning button in Penn In Touch</p>
<p>It must be stated somewhere that you need so and so many semesters of a language to fulfill the requirement.</p>
<p>As I recall you are interested in Japanese.....
Language Requirement: The language requirement in Japanese may be satisfied by completing First-Year Japanese (4 c.u.). This may be done by taking one year of intensive Japanese (AMES 85) or two years of non-intensive Japanese (AMES 082 and 083). Students presenting a score of 650 on the SAT II in Japanese may satisfy the requirement by demonstrating oral proficiency in an interview. Students with prior training in Japanese should see the Japanese coordinator for a placement or exemption interview.</p>
<p>WHARTON:</p>
<p>Information for Current Wharton Students</p>
<p>You may choose to pursue a dual degree with the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Engineering and Applied Science or the School of Nursing. Early planning is a must in preparing for a dual degree. In order to graduate with two degrees, you must meet all of the curricular requirements of both schools. Some students complete both degrees within four years during the traditional fall/spring schedule. Other students decide to take summer courses or an additional semester for dual degree completion.</p>
<p>In order to apply for dual-degree status, you must complete an application at the Undergraduate Division Office. You may apply for dual-degree status at the end of your second, third, and/or fourth semesters of full-time study.</p>
<p>Wharton Resources</p>
<ul>
<li>Curriculum Worksheet Have you been using this worksheet???</li>
</ul>
<p>I don't know what/where that worksheet is...</p>
<p>I am actually going to begin taking Chinese (I'm not continuing with Japanese any more... it's hellish. Four years is enough O.o)</p>
<p>Go to Wharton homepage and look toward undergraduate requirements and you will find the planning sheet....it should help you dovetail the SAS and Wharton reqs that you need. As for the Chinese:<br>
Language Requirement: The language requirement may be fulfilled in Chinese (Mandarin) by choosing any one of the following three options:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>By completing both semesters of AMES 073 (4 c.u.).</p></li>
<li><p>By completing both semesters of AMES 072 (2 c.u.).</p></li>
<li><p>By completing both semesters of AMES 074 (2 c.u.) and AMES 174 (2 c.u.)</p></li>
<li><p>By placing at second year or above on the Chinese (Mandarin) placement exam, given at the beginning of the fall semester.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Other Required Wharton Courses

Consider a Freshman Seminar </p>
<p>I fear that I won't even be able to take what I want bc of room</p>
<p>That's why some people need to take classes in the summer or stay for an extra semester. Don't lock yourself into dual degree. You can still go to business school or get good jobs even if you only get a degree from the college. I think it's more important to study what you want to study and take enjoyable classes than shell through all these requirements just to have the wharton name...</p>
<p>If I were after name alone I would have gone to Yale, but I didn't. I want a dual degree because it's hardcore.</p>
<p>IF you desire to persue a job in business following your undergrad.....then it would benefit you to have a Wharton degree. IF you like the business courses and have an interest then it would be fun for you. I think what I hear you saying is that the Dual Requirements don't leave you enough time to take the electives you wish to and therefore you opt not to do a dual degree. Your original statement was about maximum number of courses......the limit for your first semester can be lifted, is frequently lifted, would be lifted if you identified to your advisor that you are a dual degree and I tried to get you the info. I am not here to discuss the relative value or merit of your individual choice. Cases can be made for both options.</p>
<p>Did you consider the Joint Degree options when you applied to Penn? Have you considered any of those? These are popular and distinguishing programs.</p>
<p>" I think what I hear you saying is that the Dual Requirements don't leave you enough time to take the electives you wish to and therefore you opt not to do a dual degree"</p>
<p>No I just fear that I won't be able to fulfill the Dual Requirements because it would be hard to get all those classes. I am actually interested in the Requirement classes so that isn't an issue. I just would like to know what I should try to get into first and second semester in terms of crafting a schedule. Right now trying for Math 104, Chinese, Econ 001, a Writing seminar, and a potential 5th class but I don't know what yet (or if it's even necessary to take a 5th right now, but it there's something I can get out of the way Pass/Fail...)</p>
<p>I had heard of them but I unfortunately did not look into them that deeply because I heard they were impossible to get into. If I were to try again I would have applied for them because I did well in admissions. I feared losing my money :/</p>
<p>"I want a dual degree because it's hardcore"?
That's a real convincing reason there...</p>
<p>Fulfill a requirement (History/Science) or take Statistics (required for Wharton)</p>
<p>Zant: I want flexibility and challenge and prep for the job environment</p>
<p>Legendofmas:: As for the extra terms: I should think you will want to consider a period of study in China. My best friend is doing just that this summer. The course work transfers and the grade doesn't. This can be very helpful. You can make quick progress in the language and you can probably make some contacts for a job the next summer.<br>

Harvard has a new program but one of the Penn Profs is part of the program I just gave to you. I'd say that you can get funding for this and it might be necessary....give it some consideraton.</p>
<p>Remember that as far as your financial aid you can take one summer for educational experience and it will be added to your grants/loans etc. NO earning requirement will be costed to you. It is quite a nice option.</p>
<p>I'd rather not delve into funding at the current moment (especially loans)... I'm already looking at a pretty big, gaping hole as it is.</p>
<p>Okay.....then be aware that this program exists and if you are interested in a business degree and a growing market economy taking Chinese is a wise decison...going to China is even wiser and I'll bet you end up going. Good Luck</p>
<p>Is my current schedule ideal or should I be adding another class?</p>
