<p>I’ve recently been accepted into Vagelos LSM, and I guess I’ll share insight as to why. </p>
<p>The idea of getting two bachelors degrees in four years is truly a sight to behold. I mean, Harvard, is indeed, “Harvard” (said with more emphasis/weight). But Harvard cannot provide me with this outstanding opportunity to get TWO degrees in four years. And, Penn’s vibrant campus, the enthusiasm of the students, the lovely city nearby (I’ve always loved living near the city), and the availability of resources is just fantastic. At least in LSM, students are guaranteed two paid summer internships! And at top firms, such as JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, GlaxsoKlineSmith (sp), to name a few. This is just the bare minimum of why I love LSM, and am so happy every single day I was accepted (even though it’s only been two days).</p>
<p>And only 20-25 kids are accepted GLOBALLY, so yes, it is harder to get into this program than HYPS.</p>
