<p>Hello,
quick quesitons

  1. is the penn engineering school easier to get into then the college of arts and sciences?
  2. is the special joint degree of Computer and Cognitive Science harder to get into then either the College or the engineering school?</p>

<p>Your chances of admission depend on your fit with the programs. In some cases, one of the schools can be significantly more of a reach than the other (if you haven’t had physics, engineering admissions will be tough regardless of your other stats). </p>

<p>If you’re really into compsci+cogsci, go for it. If you’re not entirely sure otherwise, apply to engineering, as it’s much easier to switch from seas to the college than vice-versa.</p>

<p>Im 100 percent deticated to cog science and biological basis of behavior
but the prob is, if i get into on college, i could get in the dual degree program anyway by sophmore year
i just want to make sure im taking the easiest way in cause i know either of the three options ill be pursuing the same dual degrees</p>

<p>If you have taken physics, calculus, computer science, and hopefully chemistry by time you graduate high school (as many AP/IB level as possible), then it’ll probably be easier to get into SEAS that SAS with the same stats. That is only by virtue of SEAS having a higher acceptance rate. Keep in mind SAS accepts more students.</p>
