College Discussion - View Single Post - Plausibility of dual degree, business from Sloan + engineering

Nick017 · 04-14-2008, 08:40 PM

Okay, I really want to get an MBA, and as a math science nerd, I want to approach that from the engineering undergrad route. From what I can tell, my optimal scenario would be to enroll in MITs dual degree prgram with sloan and engineering.

1. I have to apply to both Sloan and MIT, be accepted by both, right? And as long as I maintain (blank) Gpa in (blank) courses, I will be eligible for it?

2. If I get rejected from Sloan, but accepted into MIT, is there any way I can manage the dual degree?

3. I am willing to work hard, I have no life, blah blah, but is this a viable option that some students do and survive?

4. What about, if I don't have what it takes for dual degree, what about
dual major? If I get into MIT, rejcted from Sloan, can I still take classes at Sloan, and do a major in business?

If anyone could answer these questions, or point out something he or she thinks I failed to consider, I would be ever grateful. Basically, I want to know if I can do ENG. + something businessy, or if I need to choose one.
