<p>When i visited penn, the lady emphasized the fact that students from any college cud take classes in any other college. </p>
<p>now im applying to the M&T program early decision. If i get in fine, awesome, super. If i dont, im applying for the engineering school. </p>
<p>now. say i dont get into M&T and get into engineering, would I still be able to take classes in Wharton that would allow me to get a wharton degree and an engineering degree. If that answer is yes, I will also consider penn engineering for early decision after M&T because that is an option in the supplement. If not, im not quite sure. SO what say you?</p>
<p>^pretty much. if im in engineering, can I also take classes in wharton to ALSO allow me to get a wharton degree. is there competition or do you ahve to apply for a specific program? or can eeryone take classes no sweat [excpet the hard work of course]</p>
<p>If you are in SEAS you can take almost any Wharton class (Management 100 and a few others are the only ones you can't take). You can also get a degree from SEAS and Wharton, but you will need to apply for a dual degree and have above a 3.8 GPA after your first year here.</p>
<p>i see. is it really hard to have that GPA? and are there limits on the number of people who can dual degree? </p>
<p>^basically is it hard to get accepted into a dual degree option?
...cause then id apply to upenn engineering regular decision to think about it more.</p>
<p>^ Read this entire page regarding Wharton dual degrees and internal transfers for students already in one of Penn's other undergraduate schools:</p>
<p>The</a> Wharton School - Undergraduate Division</p>
<p>And especially pay attention to these excerpts:</p>

How many seats are available for internal transfer and dual degree?</p>
<p>The number of seats available varies each semester depending on our current student enrollment.

How are applications evaluated? </p>
<p>Applying for internal transfer or dual degree is a competitive process. Decisions are based strictly on the applicants cumulative GPA, the completion of prerequisites, and availability of seats. We accept as many students as we have seats available. Students are accepted in descending GPA order. No additional factors are considered.

Is it easier to get accepted as an internal transfer or as a dual degree applicant? </p>
<p>Internal transfer and dual degree applications are considered together in one pool. Students are accepted in descending GPA order until all seats are filled, regardless of whether they applied as an internal transfer or a dual degree applicant.

<p>Also, be sure to check out the table of historical numbers for dual degree/internal transfer applicants:</p>

<p>If you really want both degrees but are worried about not getting accepted into M&T, you may be better off choosing Wharton as your "preferred" school. It's much easier to apply for a dual degree with SEAS once you're already in Wharton than it is doing it the other way around. Internal transfer/dual-degree into Wharton is VERY competitive. Keep in mind that Wharton does not offer minors or any kind of distinction beyond its degree program. However, Penn does support the one-university philosophy of being eligible to take almost any class within any school at Penn.</p>
<p>Hmm interesting.
however, I have a stronger interest in Engineering. I dont wanna take the chance. Plus, if I dont get accepted into wharton [which is more difficult anyways] i dont wanna miss out on a opportunity for just upenn egineering.</p>
