<p>How many extra courses must one take to double major/minor at Penn?</p>
<p>Is this relatively common or do only a few students do it?</p>
<p>How much does double majoring/minoring help in grad school admissions (i.e. med school) or future jobs?</p>
<p>Double majoring (same school or across schools) is very common. Wharton and seas double majo is the only beneficial one I can imagine. Rest is personal jnterest.</p>
<p>why not do finance + ir and go to a macro fund? There are alot of combinations but recruiting wise, the difference isn’t too big (its more of a fit issue + you’re allowed a slightly lower gpa due to increased courseload). But as venkat said, do decide based on personal interest.</p>
<p>I think the numbers were about 30% graduate with dual degrees.</p>
<p>minoring can help demonstrate expertise that enhances the major</p>
<p>for example, engineers getting the entrepreneurship minor demonstrate business background</p>
<p>i contemplated double minoring but decided the biophysics minor really wasn’t too useful for me</p>
<p>I don’t know about 30% for dual degree…its probably much less.</p>
<p>Lots of people do minors. Double majors, esp in the College is common. In SEAS, it’s usualy single major w/ minor (math or something).</p>
<p>Wharton: lots of double concentrations, some math minors</p>
