Here are my plans.
Undergrad degree - Computer Science/Computer Engineering
I want to attend medical school and obtain an MD degree.

A compsci degree isn’t worth much, so I want some business background to expand my possibilities and support me financially.

At Hopkins, I am going to pursue a BS in Computer Science and minor in Entrepreneurship and management.

At UPenn, I want to pursue a dual degree and get a BA in Computer Science and a BS in economics from Wharton.

Assuming that both cost the same amount, which school would give me the best chance at getting into med school?
Also, is it even possible to get a dual degree at UPenn and fulfill pre-med requirements in 4 years?
