[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]does anyone have info about how good these programs are. My nephew is engineering CS and interested in M&T and my son is interetsed in Huntsman program next year.  They are juniors in MCPS magnet. Do you know anyone who has done these, how competetive are these ( presumably extremely competetive comparable to HYPMS ) and how are the outcomes. are they worth the 90K tag? shud they apply to Upenn CAS and SEAS instead for better chances of admit[/quote]

M&T and Huntsman should NOT be part of your consideration.  You can apply to them, don't count on it too much.

These are dual degree programs.  Fine if you got in.  But you can double major at anything you want once you got in Penn, which is the critical part.  You can double major at SEAS and CAS for example.  I doubt it if there is any difference from these formal dual degree programs.  Chill.[/quote]

You can't double major across schools at Penn, you have to do the dual degree, and be admitted to the 2nd school.  It is a competitive process to be admitted as a student into Wharton or SEAS even once you are on campus.  You don't have to do the named programs like M&T or Huntsman, but they actually make graduating easier because of the course scheduling.  If you try to do it on your own, each school has their own rigorous core requirements, so plan to take 5+ years to finish.[/quote]

You are right.

What I meant is that you can easily double major at CAS:  Computer Science at CAS + Econ at CAS.  
Biological Science + Econ at CAS.  
etc.

CAS itself offers tons of majors for the purpose of double major.  There is no need to do it across different schools.[/quote]

You must not be a penn parent. 
Computer science is not in CAS, it is in SEAS, either the BSE or BAS. You would have to do a dual degree uncooordinated/on own: very tough to get approved for a separate degree in SEAS if one is already getting a degree in CAS.
