<p>I’ll be apply to Penn this fall, and I have heard that it’s slightly easier to get into the Wharton Undergrad program than into the College of Arts and Sciences. I want to major at the Wharton school too, so it’s two birds one stone, but has anyone heard something to dispute this? Also, will a 690 Math score on the New SAT kill me for Wharton?</p>

<p>what planet do you come from?</p>
<p>lol, yea where the hell did u hear that from?!!?!</p>
<p>it's definitely harder to get into wharton than the college.... and 690 math? ummm, u'll need like a lot of other things to balance ur application out. get leadership positions, and write an AMAZING essay. the essay was the thing that got me into the college-->i even asked my regional admissions officer</p>
<p>20.8 percent acceptance rate (overall) vs. a 17.9 acceptance rate at Wharton, so no real difference as far as rates. Excuse me for posing a question I didn't know the answer to.</p>
<p>mustang, where do you live?</p>
<p>also, in the world of college admissions, 17.9 and 20.8 is actually a significant difference</p>
<p>Why is that relevant?</p>
<p>I thought acceptance to wharton was 500/3900 = ~13%</p>

Application volume for Wharton single degree averages around 3,900. Each year we admit about 700 students and matriculate about 500 students in the first-year class.</p>
<p>Wharton is definitely the most famous Penn school with the best reputation.</p>
<p>Nowadays, however, the difference between the two is much nore negligible than it was in the past.</p>
<p>Back when Penn was the garbage pail of the Ivy League, the Wharton School distanced itself from Penn. They even had their own stylized "W" logo and even debated separating from Penn.</p>
<p>But today, the rest of Penn (College included) has improved to the point where Wharton has felt comfortable adopting the Penn shield as its own logo.</p>
<p>In the end, it depends on what you want to be doing. If you want a major in business, do Wharton. If you want a major in the liberal arts, do College (keep in mind that you can take classes in either no matter what school you select).</p>
<p>JohnnyK- Are you at Penn? If so, ideally what I'm hoping to do is dual concentrate at Wharton in management and in the College of Arts and Sciences in PPE. I realize that is possible, but I think I read something about one must apply to some academic dean (something like that) to dual concentrate. Do you know anything about whether it would be hard for a College of Arts and Sciences student to concentrate in something at Wharton?</p>
<p>It is called a dual degree, and you have to fullfill the requirements of both schools. Minimum 3.4 GPA to apply, but GPA cutoff usually ranges from 3.46 to 3.64. You have to take econ 1 & 2 and math 104 your freshman year.</p>
<p>GPA cutoff??</p>
<p>The lowest GPA of the students who got accepted for dual degree with wharton or transfer to.</p>
<p>Well, they beat me to it. Dual degree, baby.</p>
<p>Mustang, where did you get the Wharton admit rate percentage?</p>
<p>Word to all the potential wharton transfers/dual degree types.</p>
<p>snipanlol, does the dual degree thing only look at your gpa? or are there some other factors that could possibly determine your admission</p>
<p>that article scared me lol....do engineering and business have "synergies"? (M&T prog. at Penn)</p>
<p>in reference to that article.. what WOULD be a "good" synergy (dual degree)?</p>
<p>abomb, M&T DEFINITELY is a good combination</p>
<p>That was a pretty informative article. :|</p>
