<p>Telling you right now do not get your hopes up for the M&T program. They only accept 50 kids a year and the acceptance rate may be about 1-2%. You do not have a chance of getting it. While that may not be what you wanted to hear, there is still hope. You seem to be a good candidate for the ivies including Wharton. It is necessary to increase your SAT scores to that 2250+ range. Even if you get your scores in range, the acceptance rates at those schools are still extremely low and have tons of qualified applicants. Make sure to take subject tests and score well on them. You will have to take two for the ivies and 3 if you want to apply to MIT and Georgetown. If it is possible, try to get an international award. Best of luck and keep your grades up.</p>

<p>Depending on what you do, Upenn has other dual degree programs that involve Wharton and the sciences rather than engineering. They are still hard to get into but are less selective than Wharton and engineering. And yes while I do not think you will get into M&T, you should still apply because you do not want to regret not applying.</p>

<p>Yes I’m also interesting in like VIPER but anything I would do to UPenn I’m sure i would ED to boost the chances</p>

<p>You will probs be qualified by the time you apply and you will get into somewhere great, but I doubt you will get into M&T.</p>
