| if you apply to hunstman, you have two options (well this was correct for two years ago). you can ask to be dropped for consideration from huntsman and be put into the ED wharton pool, or you could be deferred from the program itself and later be put into the RD wharton pool |

| WhartonAdvisor, one quick question please :]
i'm thinking about applying as a junior transfer and i know that potential juniors are expected to have completed in addition to the 1 year of econ and calc, two semester of accounting and two semesters of statistics. if an applicant only has 1 semester of calc and 1 semester of statistics, would that person's application not even be considered? thanks! | |

| Oh wow, so if I'm deferred from Huntsman, I'm deferred from Wharton, as well? | |

| Chaotic, you have a choice (that you must make before you submit your application). You can choose to either be placed in the RD Huntsman pool OR be put in the ED wharton (or college) pool. | |

| Welcome WhartonAdvisor!
I have a few questions I wish to clear up. What exactly is the difference between a joint-degree and a dual degree?
Also, are Huntsman and all other ED joint-degree program applicants given a decision before the regular ED admissions process? The poster above mentioned that if one is deferred from Huntsman ED, one can either choose to be considered ED for Wharton or stayed in consideration for Huntsman RD. If one chooses the former, if one's decision affected by the fact that one had been deferred ED from Huntsman? Or is it a completely different admissions process?
Thanks! | |

| Also my regional director was Yhana Chavis when I visited, but now it's Lauren O'Garro-Moore. Does anyone happen to have her email? Thanks! | |

| you can also apply to be a joint degree on your app, whereas dual degrees are for current students. joint degree kids have a few classes that they take together as well, and some live together (huntsman) | |

| Wharton undergrads...or like Huntsman graduates..the majority won't go back for an MBA right? because then the education would be redundant. So i hope i'm correct in saying that after wharton...that educaiton will be enough to get a job...almost equal to an MBA. True? | |

| I wouldn't say so. Although you will be able to get pretty good jobs as a graduate of Wharton undergrad (probably better than grads from your average business school), you will not be able to apply for positions that require an MBA. | |

| I believe they have no idea you applied huntsman/M&T. It doesn't help you by showing your interest and it doesn't hurt you by showing that you were rejected from the program.
And einnoc, a ton of wharton ugrads get MBAs. | |

| Anybody know if there is any minimum-GPA cutoff to pursue a dual degree (not through a joint program) in SEAS or CAS from Wharton (like if a Wharton student wants to pursue a dual degree with SEAS). Also, is it there a lot of competition to get into that type of a program, because I know its ultracompetitive the other way around. | |

| It'll be difficult to get into SEAS only because they have a lot of pre-requisites. I am speculating that you will need a decent grade but not a terribly high one because I don't know of anyone who wants to transfer IN to engineering. | |
