<p>Also, lets say I do get accepted to one of those schools but later on in the year decide that the other major suits me better; how hard is it to do an internal transfer ?</p>
<ol>
<li>Internal transfer is a possibility but is not easy to do, you have to maintain a very high GPA</li>
<li>Check out the Jerome Fisher Program in Management and Technology which allows you to graduate with a degree from Wharton and SEAS. It's a very competitive program to be admitted to though. You will have to indicate a back-up choice as either SEAS or Wharton incase you aren't admitted to this program.</li>
<li>SEAS has a higher acceptance rate than Wharton, and so in that respect is somewhat easier to get into. But, bear in mind that SEAS has a more self-selected pool of applicants so acceptance rates don't tell the full story. Also, the difficulty of getting into one school vs. another depends on the sort of application you have and whether the admissions comittee would percieve it as better suited for one school vs. the other. For eg. several science EC's and science oriented curriculum may make you a better candidate for SEAS than Wharton; whereas a lack of science related EC's and mediocre science test-scores may actually give you a better shot at Wharton than at SEAS. Apply to the school that interests you the most, and remember you can enroll in any no. of classes in the other school once you get here if that still interests you.</li>

<p>Well from what snooker said the jerome fisher program is graduating with a degree from both schools, but what if I just want to apply to each school separately and make my decision from there? What im trying to say is can I send out an application for Wharton, and another separate application for SEAS?</p>
<p>No, I'm afraid that's not possible. You may only apply to one school (single-degree program), and if you are denied admission you will not be considered for any other school. The only way to do both degrees simultaneously is the Jerome Fisher Program when applying from high school, or once you are enrolled at Penn through internal transfer or dual-degrees.

<p>Can you do me a favor and take a look at the link I posted above and just tell me what your opinion is in me getting into either SEAS or Wharton? I'd really appreciate it.</p>
<p>From a quick look at your stats, I think you are borderline or slightly below serious consideration. While your GPA is important, I wouldn't divert all your attention to it - focus more on improving some standardized test scores like SAT II Bio if you can. </p>
<p>From my experience, Wharton will be tough - but being a prominent football player will help. Focus on being a 'Total Package' - keep improving the grades, tweak the SAT IIs (bio), get some outrageous/noteworthy extracurriculars. Do something different if you can - different makes your application interesting.</p>
<p>I agree with Johnny H. You do fall slightly below consideration. Your scores and everything are ok but not great, and your EC's while decent are somewhat bland. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with them, but it's just that at least ten thousand other kids will have the same if not better, so you'll need to do something that stands out from the pile.
Also, what state are you from and what's your ethnicity? These factors can make a pretty big difference...</p>
<p>Wharton is harder to get into. M&Tis a great program but there is no slack or easy courses. Tough to play a sport seriously. Take a look a the app, I think there are options on it if you do not get into say M&T which other colleges you want to be considered by. Tranfer is tough. You should also note that the M&T program has the highest profile students at Penn (stats, grades, etc.) with the possible exception of the new LSM program.</p>
<p>Thanks for the feedback guys, so in terms of the EC's, what are some more I should add to my list in order to make them stand out more? Actually, in your opinion what should I be doing from here on out to make my chances even better of getting in ?</p>
<p>Oh and for SAT II Bio.. I haven't even looked at biology since last year so i forgot EVERYTHING, I'm planning on taking another SAT II in other course so I could somewhat make up for my low score.</p>
