Re: Penn Law Class of 2014
Has anyone here considered a joint degree? I'm starting to look at a JD/MGA, but am wondering how hard it would be to get accepted to the MGA program during 1L since I have come straight from UG and how that would affect my employment prospects.
Any thoughts on this or other joint degrees and their value? Do you think certificates are worth a lick?

I am!!! I'm looking into the social work or social policy dual degrees. That or getting the nonprofit management certificate, although of course the business cert from Wharton would clearly be super practical and amazing!!TLSNYC wrote:Has anyone here considered a joint degree?

Re: Penn Law Class of 2014
I could def see how anything from Wharton would be a big boost to anyone's resume. How do you think the social work or policy degrees would work? How much attention do you think Penn would give us as joint degree candidates in terms of finding employment?law_monkey wrote:I am!!! I'm looking into the social work or social policy dual degrees.

Re: Penn Law Class of 2014
I don't know except I think a lot of schools assign one of their advisors to help with the joint degree students. And we would have two school's resources to utilize. Since Penn places such an emphasis on interdisciplinary learning I would expect it to be more helpful than other schools.TLSNYC wrote:I could def see how anything from Wharton would be a big boost to anyone's resume.

General as in firm, probably none.
Wharton helps for people who want to go into a specialized field where both law and business skills are necessary.
PHD helps people who want to become professors
Other then that, don't bother.

Heyyy, checking in. Is anyone still talking about housing/ setting up housing. Should I be signing a lease before ASW, because that seems to be the consensus I am getting. If so, I could seriously use a roomate... Taking applications.

I've heard that it's actually fine to wait a little longer. If I do commit though I will almost DEFINITELY be looking for a roomie!

You're probably right, but I sure hope we don't have to wait another month for finaid! I really want to see what they give me in terms of a dean's scholarship (if anything!). Do any of you know if Penn considers scholarship offers from only HYSCCNMV in negotiating?law_monkey wrote:I've heard that it's actually fine to wait a little longer.

Re: Penn Law Class of 2014
Well then hopefully NYU is as generous with need-based schollies as the website says they are! If I can at least get some solid aid from them to run back to Penn with that would be perfect! Or Penn could always just give me a decent package to begin with...yeah right.Veyron wrote:Anecdotaly, I hear anything "lower" doesn't carry much weight.TLSNYC wrote:You're probably right, but I sure hope we don't have to wait another month for finaid!

There was one at Chicago too! I probably drank more there... They both were after all of the activities on Friday evening, before dinner.
