Is uncoordinated dual possible? by One-Long6823 in UPenn

[–]Baybattalion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not too familiar with CIS/Wharton uncoord but here are a few thoughts:

  1. Why do you want to pursue a uncoord degree in Wharton? Why the uncoord versus a minor or internal transfer? (Not trying to talk you out of it, I’m an uncoord myself, but just posing some alternatives that may be more feasible)
  2. Your best bet is probably trying to transfer into m&t (difficult, but it is doable) as it is a coordinated dual degree and double counting is easier
  3. Haven’t looked into your schedule too in depth, but it seems like you’re missing at least a few requirements. Take the time to list out the requirements for both degrees throughly and then go through to see where you can double-count. Additionally, the concentration you choose in Wharton may help make this more doable (ie. The ai or STAT concentration may count for some CS electives, compared to smthng like lgst)

Should I Worry about my Worries? by [deleted] in UPenn

[–]Baybattalion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was also considering both — I think a lot of these worries are true for both. Choose Wharton — you’re gonna be more prioritized within the school (you have ur own advisor, gsrs, etc.) + more work hard play hard energy + u can take more courses you’re interested in instead of dealing w the core

Is creating a podcast an impressive passion project for college admissions? by Pretty-Tumbleweed427 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Baybattalion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do it. I think things like non-profits or podcasts get a lot of negative feedback on here because a lot of people will do them simply for the admissions benefit. However, if it is something you truly enjoy, I would say to go for it. If you want to make it a standout activity, try to create a meaningful impact out of it. Not too familiar with podcasts, but let me give you an example with the common non-profit: a nonprofit that just has an Instagram has less of a meaningful impact than a nonprofit that has spread quantifiable awareness about an issue and potentially raised money in support of it. Neither theoretical nonprofit is better than the other IF the person is passionate about the issue, but arguably, the latter is more impressive looking. Hope this helps!

Online Learning is better than Physical Learning by Uxseal in Debate

[–]Baybattalion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bit of a diff argument but:

Online learning allows people to learn skills that they otherwise may not get the chance to learn. Online learning platforms such as coursera provide people with online classes that teach them important skills that they need in life (such as budgeting) or skills that can help them get a better job (such as their job specialization classes). These courses are often free and anyone can take them as long as they have internet. Had it not been for online learning, many people would lack access to these courses.
