<p>What’s the acceptance rate anyway? I’ve never been able to find a number, just that it’s really, really low. Are you coming to this program? What are your other choices?</p>
<p>What does M & T stand for? I got into SEAS(School of Engineering and Applied Science). All I know is what the decision letter said; that they want a class of 2400 and that they had ~ 20500 applicants.</p>
<p>Management and Technology. I am a freshman in the program, and as far as stats...I don't rightly know. It's hard to get stats because the process for selection is one that would make the numbers look larger than they are: both schools look over the applications, and people who they don't think would fit in their school/the program are tossed out. Then, the core of remaining qualified applicants is pored over by the M&T selection committee.</p>
<p>hi Jcoveney :)</p>
<p>Howdy Vidushi...I'm rooming with Aman next year, did you know that?</p>
<p>could any one of you guys who are in the prog talk about your experience a little bit? how has it been? courseload? social life?</p>
<p>Wow, coveney...you can't get enough of these message boards. Are you gonna hijack this year's forums too?</p>
<p>ps...this kid's actually really cool (except when he drives up the curve in stat)</p>
<p>well...my social life's actually been pretty good and my workload hasn't been too bad (I got a 2.76 1st semester but that was because EAS101 is ********). seriously, drop the class. they make all the m&t's take it but it isn't a requirement for anything so I think you can drop it.</p>
<p>I;ve actually found the program to be rewarding. You will have excellent peers with similar interests and yet a diversity of thought; the best part of the M&T program is the other M&Ters. As far as social life? You can be as social as you want to be! Some of the M&T's are very, very social, and some aren't, but that's true of all college students. BUT if you want to be social, just make sure to pace your work/be productive when it matters, or else your grades will suffer. What do I mean? Don't procrastinate. It's hard, but if you want to party on a thursday, get all your work done on Monday...makes life much easier.</p>
<p>But aside from that: very, very manageable! There's a suprising amount of flexibility, and so far I've found the program to be very rewarding.</p>
<p>what schools did u choose M&T over and would you still make the same decision?</p>
<p>Also, did you go into M&T knowing for sure what you want to do for life? If you don't mind sharing, what did you want to do anyway? I don't know what I want to do yet, just that it should be creative and interesting and always changing. problem-solving, making stuff, thinking, that kind of stuff. I'm deciding between M&T, MIT, Harvard, and Yale, and it's a tough choice..... o.o</p>
<p>Yeah he told me :) so.. i'll be seeing a lot of you .. hehe</p>
<p>Do you think its worth going to M&T day? id have to be flying all the way from so cal and the cost is sorta hindering. also wondering as well as whether its worth to fly all the way over there for 6 hours of festivities, but the problem is i'm still not sure if i want to go to penn or not</p>
<p>Does anyone know where to find of any statistics of how well M&T students have done after graduating or wharton students for that matter?</p>
<p>Citeruid, I think you can find the information you are looking for here <a href="http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/wharton/%5B/url%5D">http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/wharton/</a></p>
<p>I made a similar decision between M&T, Princeton, and Stanford. </p>
<p>Stanford's Management and Engineering program (or whatever its called) is a systems engineering type program. You couldnt do any engineering you wanted, and I wanted to do Bioengineering. Secondly the management part is just like a couple classes, not the intense complete wharton degree. I visited the campus, and it seemed to big and secluded to me. It took me like 25 minutes to walk to a dining hall.</p>
<p>Princeton wasnt a good people fit for me; I didnt see myself blending in well in that kind of secluded social environment, and it didnt offer me the same benefits of M&T.</p>
<p>I couldnt get the same benefits of two completely seperate full degrees in either place. In neither place would you go as in depth into business and engineering as M&T becuase you are a full student of both schools, taking just the same classes as a Wharton Student and a Penn Engineering Student.</p>
<p>My greatest pull to penn was the incredible diversity that neither Stanford nor Princeton have come close to achieving. It's an extremely interesting experience living in a big city: I love being able to walk anywhere I want to go in Philly. </p>
<p>Also, the two full degrees far outweigh a single engineering degree with a few finance classes. This program leaves so many options open. After I graduate, I will be well suited to do engineering entrepreneurship (biotech company), I could go to Wall Street or any kind of business setting, and I could even go to med-school if I didnt like the other choices. </p>
<p>Anyways, PM me if you want more opinions, but that was kind of my decision in a nutshell.</p>
