<p>I was just wondering about prestige and selectivity of the jerome fisher program in management and technology. Would it be considered less than, equal to, or greater than that at Harvard?</p>

<p>Way greater than, definitely :-)</p>

<p>Really, does anyone have statistics?</p>

<p>penn doesn’t release official admit stats for the dual degree programs. according
to this article, the M+T yield is 71%:

<p>That article talks about yield (how many kids who get in accept) not about selectivity. Most M&T kids probably were choosing between Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT and M&T</p>

6

<p>Selectivity for the M&T program is around 7-9%. You also have to keep in mind that the applicant pool is very self-selective, as it requires an additional essay and it is known as being highly selective.</p>

<p>So is it true that employers on Wall Street would favor an M+T student over a Harvard grad? I read this in another thread</p>
