So I'm confused about this whole one college thing.

Colleges & Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<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>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>

<p>You can minor in engineering entrepreneurship. [Engineering</a> Entrepreneurship](<a href=“Engineering Entrepreneurship | Fostering Innovation for Future Leaders”>Engineering Entrepreneurship | Fostering Innovation for Future Leaders)</p>
