<p>And you might even be able to double-count some other distributional requirements toward a 3rd concentration or a minor in the College. Until you sit down with an advisor with some specific plans/courses in mind, it’s a bit difficult to determine how this would all play out.</p>
<p>But in terms of your subjective question of how difficult it is to take more than the normal number of courses for whatever reason, I think that really depends on the particular courses, and on you as an individual. And if you can’t find anyone to give you more specific feedback at this point, I’d recommend that you contact Wharton directly to get answers to your questions (perhaps after you’ve been accepted :)).</p>
<p>I’m not a current student by the way–just an old alum. But it’s my understanding that double-concentrating in Wharton is fairly common, for what it’s worth.</p>
<p>3 majors and a minor? Sounds like a lot for any college student, let alone at a rigorous school like Penn. It’d be cool if you could do it though :)</p>
<p>^I agree that seems like a workload that would make most people rip their hair out. But then again, Penn isn’t for most people. You can do it! :)</p>
<p>It’s possible, but it’ll most likely take a longer time than if you were in M&T. This is because the program is specially designed to double count some courses to satisfy both the engineering and business degree. There are also several courses that can only be taken by M&T students.</p>
<p>@deanfurda tweet “Walk through Penn Engineering for Saturday Early Decision Committee. Going to be a great class of 2017!”</p>
<p>Indeed they are in the final round … working on Saturday. Furda is in a good mood because he doesn’t tweet much at all. Sensed a competitive class, but good luck to all!</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I’m being a naive high schooler and that I’ll be grounded by reality if I end up going to Penn But thanks rahveal09!
It’s pretty nerve-wracking knowing that they are in the final stages of decision-making. If they’re so close to finalizing though, why would it take them until the 12th to notify us?</p>
<p>I am thinking the reason to hold off until the 12th is to leave some days for finnanial aid office to prepare the package. On the other hand, its supposed to be need-blind. </p>
<p>Having the decision on a Friday is good for everyone. Some can celebrate, but more important for more, it is a weekend long to pick up common app again.</p>
<p>I think they are holding off until the 12th to give time for a final evaluation of SAT scores for most of the East coast that had the November SAT date moved. The results for the make up test are due out on Nov 4th with results delivered to schools on the 5th, add a few days for administration once the class is set and the 12th sounds very reasonable.</p>
<p>mine are gonna be bad too… (approx. 700) i forgot to switch my calculator into degres and radians during the Math II test haha i still can’t believe it…</p>
<p>I have applied to the College of the Arts and Sciences at UPenn. It’s been my dream to go here, but I am worried because of my SAT scores (1600 best) due to the fact I am the worst standardized test taker. On the flip side, I have a 4.0 in my school classes with 5 AP’s that include I take classes at La Salle University and I have a 4.0 there too. I have immense extracurriculars and run track for my school. I live in Philadelphia, my mom works at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and my aunt graduated from there in 98. What do you guys think? Also, I have had doctors that know me from the hospital write recommendations because I have volunteered and learned a lot about being a doctor from there and other things. Am I going to get denied because of my SATs and not see that I am a great student?</p>
But thanks rahveal09!
I hope they don’t get me down while I’m waiting.</p>
