CAS students can dual major/ transfer into wharton if they fulfill the requirements.
Is it guaranteed dual major if the requirements are met? If not, what is the acceptance rate?
Guaranteed transfer if requirements are met? If not, what is the acceptance rate?
For minor with wharton, is there any requirement or is it open to all ?
I am an incoming freshmen at CAS. I will plan to major in Biology, possibly on a pre-vet track (I'm still unsure whether or not I want to pursue vet-med). I definitely want to work in a field that involves animals (pharmaceutical, biotech, etc) so I am contemplating minoring or even double majoring in Economics? Is it normal to minor/major in something else as a Bio-major, because I feel like a Biology BA restricts you into either pursuing research or medicine...
As for my schedule, I was placed into the College Foundations: KITE Cohort so I have to take COLL 0100 as well as a Writing Seminar course. Would it be too much if I added ECON 0100 + rec into my schedule? I don't want to burn myself out my first year but I've read that the KITE courses aren't too difficult, so I'm honestly lost rn.
my goal is to take lin alg while also trying to take some easy classes. would you reccomend skipping into 1410 then lin alg sem 2, math 1070 -> 1080 -> lin alg, or math 1400 -> 1410 -> 2200. rn im thinking of skipping 1400 bc i heard some bad things abt it and i rather only have one sem of bad math. i just want like whatevers easier for my first year since im going to need time adjusting
Probably an unreasonable stressor, but I am an incoming freshman and have barely talked to other incoming freshmen so far- let alone try to meet up with them before the school year starts. I am a pretty extroverted person, but I am just a bit worried about making friends during NSO, especially because so many people already have group chats and know each other. I will be okay, right?
Considering reapplying. I know it's stupid, but I'd like to do another bachelor's program due to a lack of foundational knowledge in the field I work in. I only got that first interview due to class ranking and extracurriculars. Wondering if UPenn would consider both past and current achievements in a reapplication. I've done well professionally, but understand that most schools do not accept B.S. applicants who already have a degree. I'd love some insight from current undergrads. How many working adults have you seen in your classes? Have any of you had to apply multiple times to get in?
Just curious about which courses it's easiest to get an A in. Based on what you've heard and your experiences, I'd love to know what you think.
Is Penn the correct institution for a traditionally published political-fiction author?
Philly resident.
I have been admitted to the LPS program and my book sits on the Penn Author shelf in the school bookstore but I was wondering if I should be searching for another Ivy school known for its literary success?
Previous experience is appreciated.
im an incoming freshman and am interested in some clubs like witg and other investment groups. i was wondering how the application process looks like, since I know that these are some of the more competitive clubs. how do the coffee chats work? what types of questions do they ask? Do I just need to network, or should I study specific topics, or both?
Hello all,
I am a macro photographer located about a mile from Penn’s campus in center city. My focus is time-lapses of Sundews (carnivorous plant) eating various insects, I have tons on my Reddit page if you click on my profile and my Instagram is @terrariums.yt if you wanna see for yourself.
Hammerhead worms are a highly invasive species to Pennsylvania and I am seeking one or more to film timelapses of. They can be pretty easily found by looking around under rocks but I never have the time to get out into nature and look for myself.
If any of you guys are bored and feel like digging around in the woods for one of these hit me up and I can trade you free sundews in exchange for a hammerhead worm.
Also I’m not a student here. I feel like that’s important so I might as well mention it.
Help me choose for this freshman fall 🙏🙏 I took ib math AA HL and the math placement test put me as eligible to take 1410 (like middle range), but I really want to maximize my gpa for this freshman fall…
Basically I’m torn over which class to take cuz i hear that math 1410 is actually easier bc of the teachers but then that it also could be because of math geniuses and engineers that take the class (which I’m not)
Tysm for the help in advance!
Pls help…any info on these teachers lecture style exam difficulty class work and demeanor would be incredibly helpful 🙏🙏🙏 whose class do u recommend I take? Preferably want to keep my gpa intact
Tysm :)
I'm pre-med, so I'm planning to take Maeyer's chem lab this fall. I hear it's going to be the absolute bane of my existence, so any advice/notes would be extremely helpful please! I'm also planning to concurrently take Chem 1011 (Intro to Chem) under Porello who gets mixed reviews, so tips for that course would be very helpful to me as well! Thanks!
what do u guys think... i think it looks pretty good ehhh?
Hi everyone, I recently graduated and got an email from my school saying I was accidentally overpaid through my work-study job. The amount is less than $100, and they are telling me I need to repay it.
I’m trying to understand what can realistically happen if I don’t pay it back. Since I already graduated, can they still place a hold on my account, block transcripts, send it to collections, or affect anything with future financial aid? I’m not trying to make a huge issue out of a small amount, but I also don’t want to repay something if it was their mistake and I’m not actually responsible.
Has anyone dealt with a work-study or campus payroll overpayment after graduating? Did your school waive it, let you appeal it, or make you pay it back?
I’m planning to ask them for a breakdown of how the overpayment happened, but I wanted to hear from people who have gone through this before.
board of trustees members are allowed to write recs? my parents know someone and i want to ask him but idk if there are rules against that
Hey yall, I’m an incoming Weitzman masters student, and I was wondering if anyone has had experience commuting from Rittenhouse Square to the campus, I am on a lease there and have heard good things thus far, but just wanna check with a wider community!!
First: I’m NOT premed :)
Basically, I’m trying to optimize my gpa and heard biol 1121 is pretty hard. I got a 5 on AP bio my sophomore year but I don’t really see the advantages of taking an advanced class other than not having to take another semester of biol…so my question is what are the possible advantages and motives for people taking biol 1121 over 1101?
Is it better for research opportunities or getting into clubs at Penn? Does it make a large enough difference to justify a gpa degrade? Especially since I’m planning on not going to med school it seems to me currently that there isn’t a huge pro but I also know I could be missing something at this stage
Tysm for the help guys!
Also to get a grasp of my current sched: taking 1410 (another thing I heard was 1410 was actually easier than 1400 for some students which I thought was interesting? Not sure if that’s 100% true tho, Econ 100, and writing seminar) all my lang requirements r fulfilled
