<p>So to put it simply, I am very interested in doing a concentration at wharton but it would be cool to do life sciences at the same time.</p>

<p>I was wondering how difficult (percentages) it is to get into Vagelos?</p>

<p>I heard it was easier than M&T and Huntsman.</p>

<p>I also heard it was easier (percentages) than applying to Wharton straight up (this doesn't really make sense to me though so I was wondering if that's true)</p>

<p>I want to know bcuz i am pretty good at bio and other sciences so maybe it would help if i applied vagelos? (and by help I mean it would be easier to get in?)</p>

<p>Well, each class only has about 25 people. It's a pretty new program. I visited in spring and talked to a representative in the LSM office, and she told me the acceptance rate is somewhere around 10%. I don't think applying for Vagelos is going to help you get into Penn. </p>

<p>I was coveting LSM for months but ultimately decided it wasn't a great fit for me.</p>

<p>Do you have to major in Bio or other science in this program, or could you major in math?</p>

<p>^I think you have to major in a life science (bio, biochem, etc.)...hence the name, Life Science and Management.</p>

<p>Don't apply just to get into Wharton. Unless you are serious about studying/majoring in biology/science, you will regret it.</p>
