@Cheetah71 You should look into the M&T program at Penn. It is a coordinated dual degree program between SEAS and Wharton at Penn. You can also do an uncoordinated dual degree but it means more courses and a slightly heavier course load.
Time to complete it depends on how heavy a course load you are able/willing to take. Most people do finish in four years but it means taking 6+ classes a semester and/oror taking a few summer classes. A few stay an extra semester or year.

For Penn you will of course need top SATs (1500+(new sat) to have a good chance), and GPA in the 3.8+ (preferably 3.9+ range), and very solid ECs.

Penn M&T specifically is quite more competitive than Penn overall (think Harvard, Stanford level) so you need even more impressive stats and ECs to have a decent chance.

If you apply M&T you will designate one school (SEAS or Wharton) as your second choice if you do not get into M&T. If you do not get into M&T but you get in the school you designated then you have the option of applying again for M&T at the end of your freshman year (super hard to get it) or apply for an uncoordinated dual degree any time until the end of your sophomore year (significantly higher chances of getting that vs M&T).
