<p>Recently I heard that applying to M&T significantly drops my chances at SEAS(my 2nd choice) because SEAS don't review my application seriously after I was rejected from M&T program.</p>
<p>I heard it from Penn alumni...</p>
<p>Is this really true?</p>
<p>I wish I'd just applied to SEAS....</p>
<p>Ohh, I am sooo nervous....</p>
<p>I hope not..I applied to M&T with Wharton as my second choice for ED and I got deferred. I hoping to at least get into Wharton RD round..</p>
<p>i did the same as feikuai....i dont think im getting in though :(</p>
<p>deferred ed: M&T/wharton
i don't think thats true - getting in M&T is MUCH harder than getting into wharton or SEAS...if M&T was easier to get into than wharton/seas then that would be true</p>
<p>if they deferred so many M&T applicants, does that indicate that we are actually competitive for that program or does it mean that they just wanna compare us with the rest...cuz if we werent competitve in the 1st place, they should have rejected us ED for M&T and told us that we'll be considered for SEAS/Wharton ED....</p>
<p>i was thinking - M&T is like 50 spots-ish. they don't want to fill it up right away - so defer the qualified candidates - reject the non-qualified ones -> so now for the regular admission they have qualified candidates + the new regular ones - just have to narrow down to 50ish. then again they prob admitted 10ish students already...in the early round...so hopefully being deferred is a good sign.</p>
<p>no, check the facebook group, they have 22 admits already....and i dont hear of anyone being rejected from M&T ED...pretty much every1 is getting deferred....i dont get it, surely there are sum applicants who arent qualified and should get rejected straight out</p>
<p>I applied. Boy do I hope I get in.</p>
<p>I applied to M&T with 2nd choice: Wharton. Well we will know in 13 hours+.</p>
<p>@quag_mire: Are all the kids on the facebook group actually accepted, or are they just there for fun, or perhaps they are <em>gasp</em> expanding the M&T program size a bit? Heh, we can only dream =p.</p>
<p>dude, im sure a good chunk of them have been accepted...if not all, im sure atleaset 15-16 lol...oh well, my stats sux, im not gettin in...congratz on stanford frnk chn...lol therz a kid in my english class named frank too, and he was accepted into Stanford + MIT :O</p>
