| Sorry everyone, I have been away on vacation! I'll try to answer what questions it looks like I missed.
Daz405 - You should definitely take a MATH SAT II. Which level you take is dependent on your math ability. If you have specific concerns, talk to your regional director of admissions.
Chaotic - You should just look at the Penn Application where this is explained, though what MichaelJ said is correct.
Gxing - Joint degrees are specialized programs with more prescribed curriculums. Dual Degrees are essentially your own individualized program since you determine the major and courses all on your own. Dual degrees also require more credits. Joint degree programs also carry a certain weight with their names (ie Huntsman and M&T). But at the end of the day, both get you two degrees (for the price of one) and that's an impressive accomplishment either way.
Regarding the process. You find out at the same time as everyone else in the ED round if you selected to be considered ED. Your decision for the WH single degree is not affected in any way by the fact that you applied to Huntsman. They are two separate admissions pools.
Einnoc - you are correct. The majority of Wharton alums do NOT go back for an MBA. We do surveys of our alumni 5, 10, and 15 years out and find that for all of those groups only about 35% will ever go back for an MBA. So if they realized at some point that they needed one in 0-15 years, they would have gone back to get one. However, this does NOT mean that a Wharton undergrad degree = MBA. An MBA is not just a degree, it also signifies that a person has a significant amount of work experience. So for instance, Wharton seniors get hired as analysts while Wharton MBAs get hired as associates. You don't compete for the same jobs because you have different levels of work experience. Academically, however, undergrads take many of the same courses as MBA students (quite a few being EXACTLY the same).
Sorry I'll try to answer the rest later! |
