<p>What I mean by here is, will adcoms consider a Wharton applicant to be a Penn CAS applicant as well? Like will they reject Wharton applicants but still accept them in Penn CAS?</p>
<p>I know this has happened to other schools; This one applicant applied to Carnegie Mellon (major: computer science) but was rejected with a letter saying “we’ll glady accept you for a major other than CS” (*CMU’s CS is known to be very competitive among the majors)</p>
<p>I know that it’s near impossible to transfer from CAS to Wharton (although one told me you have a chance with a 3.7+ GPA however hard it may be to obtain such grades), but I’d still go to Penn CAS and take classes at Wharton than be flat out rejected. Of course, getting accepted to Penn CAS is another issue.</p>
<p>The only way that Wharton applicants can select SAS is to apply to Huntsman or another joint degree within Wharton. Just Wharton and fallback to SAS is a NO.</p>
<p>Or apply to Huntsman and then you can have a backup.........</p>

<p>What is the application procedure for Wharton's joint-degree programs?
The Wharton School's undergraduate program currently offers three joint-degree programs, one with each of the other undergraduate schools at Penn. To apply, simply check the appropriate box on the University's undergraduate admissions application Form 1A. Joint degree applicants should then complete the additional Form 1C. Applications are evaluated by The Office of Undergraduate Admissions and directors of the individual joint degree programs. Applicants not considered competitive for the joint degree program are still considered for a single degree admission, as indicated by your choice of single degree program on Form 1C. The three joint-degree programs we currently offer are:</p>
<p>The Jerome Fisher Program in Management & Technology, with the School of Engineering and Applied Science (BS Econ and BS Engineering or Bachelor of Applied Science)</p>
<p>The Huntsman Program in International Studies & Business, with the College of Arts and Sciences (BS Econ and BA with major in International Studies)</p>
<p>The Nursing & Health Care Management Program, with the School of Nursing (BS Econ and BS Nursing)</p>
<p>Roy & Diana Vagelos Program in Life Sciences & Management
<p>What if you get accepted into the M&T or Huntsman program, and you decide you do not want the dual-degree. </p>
<p>Can you withdraw from the one college you don't want a major in?</p>
<p>Also, is it ever possible to switch from the M&T program to the Huntsman program after your first year? I'm assuming not, I just figured I'd ask. ;)</p>
<p>nope, huntsman will only take people in the beginning of freshman year. However, you CAN do it the other way around. You may have to drop CAS first but to get into M&T you need a ridiculously high GPA (historically it has been around 3.93), two teacher recs (not easy to get good ones during freshman year, when you mostly have lectures), an essay, and your left kidney.</p>
<p>And yeah, you can drop a school from your dual degree cirriculum whenever you want. The only exception is if you are a transfer student who obtained dual degree status after coming to penn. Then, you are not allowed to drop the school you transferred into from out of penn.</p>
<p>and also, is it possible to double major, with another combination of degrees?</p>
<p>Like one from Wharton and another from CAS?</p>
<p>I mean I'm thinking if I start on the M&T track(assuming the unlikely case I get admitted), can I drop the engineering portion and just decide to pick up a second major or minor in the CAS. (assuming I will be able to fulfill the requirements.)</p>
