<p>which school is most difficult to get into and which school has the most amount of work? also, can you minor in courses not in your college. so for example, a student from wharton minoring in biology …</p>
<p>um well obviously wharton is toughest to get into. from what people say it can be pretty elite in there. my guess is wharton for the workload too. from what i can tell wharton kids only answer to jesus, (im not one of them), so they can do pretty much whatever the hell they want. personally i dont think they would really want to major in biology when they know theyre gonna leave the grad school making an avg of 101… thousand dollars. am i rambling?</p>
<p>once again: lower admission rates is not the same thing as “harder to get into.” Chicago has a higher admissions rate than UCLA.</p>
<p>I second TheStonedPandas,</p>
<p>Think about the joint-degree programs. The acceptance rate is pretty high for these programs (15%~16%) compared to Harvard or Yale or Stanford. But who applies to these programs? Those who are serious about it, those who believe their grades/numbers are high enough, etc. If you look at Stanford/Yale/Harvard, there are people that apply just for the heck of it, as their SUPER reach. </p>
<p>Same goes for UChicago. Their uncommon applications make it difficult for those students who simply want to apply for the heck of it. THerefore, they (probably) only get students who are serious about applying to UChic. Hence less applications, but its still harder to get into because all that apply are super smart and intelligent.</p>
<p>The amount of work depends on what program/majors you decide to pursue. Goes for all undergraduate colleges at Penn.</p>
<p>i think the number of classes you take might be a better indicator of what’s harder. unless you’re intentionally taking very easy classes, five classes is noticably harder than four classes, and six classes is much harder than five and significantly harder than four.</p>
<p>then again i do remember one time when my comm major friend asked me to make a bar graph for one of his reports in excel…while i was doing something on heteroscedasticity for my stat class he was watching the cartoon network and categorizing the types of commercials they were showing…</p>
