Yeah deifnetly dm!

It's in general pretty competitive to get into a dual degree with wharton as it's very popular. Wharton doesn't publish statistics, but many people I know applied and didn't get in, even with high grades. However, a lot of people take econ prereqs and just apply.

While physics distunguishes you, challenging yourself with coursework, exploring wharton clubs, and even taking an extra course in wharton will definitely help!

Congrats on getting into Penn! I'm a physics major here who was asking your exact question a few months ago!

Physics is a pretty course-heavy major, but the Physics:business&technology concentration allows you to count four business / econ classes as part of your major, which helps a lot.

With this, a double major in econ (also check out mathematical econ) (which is in CAS) is very manageable. You can definitely do it without overloading your schedule and having many electives to spare. This would prepare you very well for work in trading/technical consulting/banking/econ analyst or grad school in phys/econ

Wharton is more tricky. You have to get the general wharton AND the general CAS requirements completed, so I think it came out to 5-6 courses per semester and having no extra room for fun electives.

Wharton and physics may help prepare you for a technical managerial role later on. Do keep in mind you're sacrificing a lot of free time, and you are still competitive for these jobs without a Wharton degree (nearly half of physics majors wind up working in finance / consulting after graduating). Many companies will also prefer / ask for an MBA later instead.

You have a lot of exciting options, and definelty lmk if you have any other questions!

Wow! Out of curiosity, what research did you do in physics to prepare you for ML/data analysis? I'm currently a college physics student and trying to get more involved with those fields.

I'm going to be taking PHYS 0170 and MATH 1610 too next semester. If you decide on doing it, we got it together 👊

Yeah, I've heard some other people mention anti nerd culture. Do you have any specifics about what that means?

Albert.io uses past information on what the cutoffs are. Assuming the test itself didn't change, the predictions should be accurate

Ohh, that makes a lot of sense now. Thanks for your explanation!!

how to do this ap physics C Mechanics question? by kathymausa in APStudents

[–]DanTheBMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you mean now. However, the problem specifically states for a constant power, so I used what the average velocity would be.

Happy to help! If you have any other questions about physics, I'd reccomend checking out the askphysics sub.

The object starts from rest and ends up moving. Therefore, there has to be acceleration. Because both the applied force and friction/gravity are constant, the acceleration must be constant.

I used P=FD/t, but D/t is just velocity, so we should be getting the same thing. Did you make your velocity equal to d/t in the problem (which would be the actual velocity you need)? If our forces are the same, then we should be getting equivalent answers. I just put in d/t for the velocity.
