<p>The M&T program looks awesome, getting two degrees, one from a world-class business school and the other, from the Engineering dept. (while not as well known, still awesome). You also get the alumni network, which is always really important. Although I understand that my chances of getting in are slim to none, is this a program for entrepreneurs?
If not, what kind of people is this program really made for?</p>
<p>thanks in advance!</p>
<p>You can do just about anything you want with M&T, including entrepreneurship. Some of my friends are very entrepreneurial. If you send me a PM, I can go into more detail.</p>
<p>Not about M&T per se, but this site has a lot of info about Wharton Entrepreneurial Programs in general:</p>

<p>I applied M&T ED and didn’t get it…but I got into SEAS.
M&T is a truly amazing program, but this program is really only for people who want to connect business with engineering. It emphasizes interdisciplinary learning more than anything, so if that’s what you want, definitely apply!</p>
<p>Yep, M&T is really one of a kind. I looked into mimicking it partially at other schools, and it was a no-go. It is usually possible to do Econ and Comp Sci, but Electric Engineering is usually off limits to Double-Majors.</p>
<p>I still hope I’ll get in 
I got into Wharton ED and was deferred for M&T, so I’ll know March 29th</p>
<p>^ As I pointed out in another thread, you can still pursue dual degrees at Penn (e.g., Wharton and SEAS, Wharton and College, etc.) even if you’re not accepted into one of the formal dual degree programs. Hundreds of Penn undergrads do that every year:</p>

<p>M&T is good for entrepreneurship, but to be an entrepreneur, you don’t necessarily need it. Entrepreneurship is about how passionate you are about an idea and hard-working you are to develop that idea into reality. It is not something that can be taught in any programs.</p>
