<p>Hi everyone. First of all, good luck to everybody who's applying to Penn. </p>
<p>I'm looking at the different programs for Penn. Can anyone solve my question: If I apply for a dual degree, let's say, the huntsman program, do I have a smaller chance of getting accepted than single degree? </p>
<p>Thanks a lot, and good luck to everyone.</p>
<p>I don’t believe it matters. Feel free to ask the admissions office though - Good luck.</p>
<p>Statistically, yes, it is harder. I know Vagelos LSM is 10% at most. But I think it really depends on how good of a “fit” you are to the program. If your application presents itself perfectly in concert to what M&T/LSM/Huntsman are looking for, then your chances of getting into dual degree may even be better than getting into single degree. IMO of course.</p>
<p>As Quaker said, it is harder. But that doesn’t mean that you lower your chances of being admitted to Penn. I don’t know how it works with the other dual degree programs, but if you apply to Huntsman, you are requested to choose either Wharton or the SAS as a second option, in case you are not admitted to the program.</p>
