<p>According to my son, if you do the M&T program and wants to do a serious engineering discipline, you really have to take 5 years due to the work load. Most M&T that finish in 4 years end up with an easier engineering discipline such as System Science.</p>

22

<p>And don’t forget, jds3, your son can still do a dual degree in Wharton and Engineering even if he doesn’t get into the M & T program. On his application, he’ll be able to request that he be considered for general Wharton admission in the event that he is not selected for the M & T program (or Huntsman program, if he applies to that), and then he can pusue the dual degree on his own once he is admitted to Wharton.</p>

<p>“he’ll be able to request that he be considered for general Wharton admission”</p>

<p>Is it the option when he submit his app? or after he got reject from the 2 program?</p>

<p>Very valuable info bioeng.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>jds3, he would request that he be considered for general Wharton admission when he submits his app–in other words, as a backup choice if he isn’t accepted into the joint degree program to which he applies. He can choose either of the 2 schools involved in the joint program as his single backup choice (i.e., either Wharton or the College for Huntsman, and either Wharton or Engineering for M & T). See questions 1b and 2b on page 13 of this year’s application:</p>

<p>^ The M&T 4 vs. 5 years thing varies a lot based upon the credit you come in with, whether you stay for any summer classes (most M&T students take at least 2 summer classes somewhere along the line), how well you plan out your schedule and the depth of courseload you take, and what your engineering major is. I know nearly as many students graduating in 3 or 3.5 years as I do graduating in 4.5 or 5 years.</p>

<p>What happen if S do double degree and took 5 years, do they still offer FA?</p>

27

<p>It depends on the details of your situation, but FA is still available for the most part for a fifth year.</p>
