<p>Comments:
Just curious, but, it seems like hardly anyone got accepted for M&T. Scanned through the forums and saw ONE acceptance on CC. Also saw a few who applied M&T but got accepted to SEAS.</p>

<p>ynos: yeah, I got accepted SEAS instead of M&T, but I'm hardly surprised. I wrote my page 217 essay about how I DON'T want to make money ;) And then I wrote my M&T essay about a charity. LOL apparently they want ambitious people in their program. Also, one of my classmates got in M&T, so I guess that contributed too. I'm happy I got in at all, and I'm actually not even sure I wanted to be in the program (and I guess they realized that too lol)</p>
