sushi_t,

doing a dual degree with wharton is competitive than doing it with college or engg. once you set foot on campus and attend the orientation programs, you will realize that almost everyon is planning to do a dual with wharton. do not be too intimated by that as many will lose th steam as the semester progresses. the gpa cutoff varies every year depending on the pool of students who apply. for the dual degree, its purely a gpa cutoff so its highly dependent on the quality of students who apply.

i would feel getting a 3.7/3.75 and above would put you in a strong position. since you have more than one chance to apply, i think the cutoff decreases for sophomores applying. be wise in the classes you choose if you r seriously planning to do a dual with wharton in freshman year.

i am not sure if you r in the college or engg, if in engg, you might want to give m&t a shot too.
