thanks for the help. I thought Wharton might be really strict about dual-degree requirements, so I was hoping it would be at least possible. I dont know if I’d even want to double major if I got into Wharton, knowing the difficulty of the program. I think taking one major my Freshman year would be a good idea to help me get used to Penn before deciding what to do from there.

I know my chances arent amazing, but then again whose are at Penn? Ive seen plenty of 2400 4.0’s get turned down on the offcial decision threads, so I think I just need to write some rockin’ essays and maybe wrack up some more volunteer work to help boost my character/personal quality ‘score’ so to speak. Im kinda hoping the admissions office likes that I stood out in an area where most students are just happy to coast along and be average. Im thinking about writing an essay along those lines…but I dont want to come off as conceited…man do I have alot to think about haha.

keep 'em comin!

I figured my chances arent great
