<p>Hey guys. I was wondering if I ED to Wharton, will I be able to EA to MIT?
Also, I have some strong business-oriented ECs, and just that little EC spot does not seem to do them justice. However, I am unsure as to whether I should expand on these on the commonapp essay or the UPenn supplement. If I write about it on the commonapp and get rejected/deferred from Wharton, it would need to be read by all my other schools, even the non-business ones. However, there is such a small word limit on the supps. Ahh my mind is going to explode! Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>The UPenn supplement is more of the “Why Penn?” type of essay, so that wouldn’t be the place to expand on those EC’s. A good place to do so, however, would be in the short answer on the CommonApp. There IS a word limit (150 words I believe), but you can talk solely about the business-oriented EC’s and it wouldn’t really hurt for non-business schools.</p>

<p>As for your other question: yes, you can ED to Wharton and EA to MIT at the same time.</p>

<p>can you do ED Wharton and then EA yale? Anyone know this? and if you get rejected from Wharton is there a second choice on application to choose Upenn. I know there is a second choice if you get rejected from Wharton’s dual programs.</p>

<p>You cannot ED Wharton and EA Yale. Yale’s early-action application is restrictive; you can only apply to Yale EA and no other schools with ED or EA programs. Also, if you fail to gain admission into Wharton, you are not admitted to the University of Pennsylvania. </p>

<p>When applying to Penn, you pick your school and get one shot to gain admission to the program (College, Wharton, Engineering, Nursing). The only exception are the coordinated dual-degree programs (Huntsman, M&T, Vagelos), which allow you to choose one of the schools to be considered for as well.</p>

<p>Thank you for that information. Do you go to Wharton or Upenn?</p>

<p>Both. I am a Wharton student, thus I am also a Penn student. Wharton is merely one of Penn’s 12 schools, a smaller part of the larger university.</p>
