I’m applying into PPE at UPenn this year for ED, I was just wondering if anyone knew how selective the PPE major is, and if I am at an advantage for applying into a not-well known major.
PPE is one of the majors that Penn always highlights at its info sessions because it shows interdisciplinary learning opportunities. So I wouldn’t say PPE is a “not-well known major”. Anyone that has done their research would probably be familiar with the program. I’ve been to several campus tours, and I remember one of the guides told me that PPE is either one of the most popular majors or one of the fastest growing majors. I forgot which one. That said, I don’t think your major plays much of a role in admission chances.
