Admissions
Admission to LSM is extremely competitive. It is one of the smallest dual degree programs, enrolling only 25 students each year. Applicants are expected to have strong backgrounds in math and science and, accordingly, are expected to have taken advanced coursework in at least three of the following: biology, chemistry, physics, and Calculus. Additionally, applicants must submit two SAT Subject Test scores, one of which must be a science subject.The average SAT I combined score of admitted students is approximately 2310.
To apply, prospective applicants must complete the Penn application for undergraduate admission, supplemented with Form 1-C which asks for an essay elaborating upon the applicant's interest in combining life science and management curricula. The form also asks which single-degree option (the College of Arts & Sciences or the Wharton School) the applicant would like to be considered for if he or she were not admitted to LSM.
