Collegebound - you should ask those specific questions to a Regional Director.

Pennstudent - I agree with the other posters. Joint degree programs aren't for everyone. If you want to go more indepth in either area, a dual degree might be better. Or if you're only slightly interested in one area, consider just taking classes in the other discipline or getting a minor (although Wharton doesn't give minors). The joint degree programs are going to be more structured, and that is something you should take into consideration while also realizing that you leave here with TWO degrees as a part of a very prestigious group of students.

Username - that didn't upset me. I graduated from college 4 years ago and it's true that I've forgotten a lot of the details. I do think that Wharton grads have an advantage going into their first jobs because they are typically way ahead of non-business students in their understanding (even after training). It also depends on what you go into though.
