<p>“^ But then the MBA submatriculation is only offered to Wharton undergraduates. Doesn’t getting an MBA in addition to undergrad degree make you more attractive?”</p>
<p>Not necessarily. You are missing the point and not understanding what an MBA is all about. When you graduate from Wharton, you have pretty good business knowledge, probably as solid as an MBA degree, and employers know that. I am making the point that doing M&T followed by MBA immediately will not add much to your education. You will be in a great position to get a job in both scenarios. You seem to only care about getting a job. In that case, you can do an MBA immediately, if you wish. But I wouldn’t put significant weight on anything related to the MBA for making a decision.</p>
<p>“Also, realistically speaking, how possible is it to finish M&T and do a submatriculation (whether it be MBA or master’s in engineering)?”</p>
<p>Master’s in engineering is totally possible. I don’t have stats on how many Wharton undergrads successfully submatriculate into the MBA, but I see no a priori reason why it’s not possible.</p>
<p>"How much will the M&T program limit my chances of going into other fields compared to going to Stanford? "</p>
<p>The M&T program will not limit your chances <em>at all</em>. On the contrary, the one thing that the M&T program does is expand your choices. You can do pretty much <em>anything</em> after graduating from the M&T program.</p>
<p>An MBA without prior work experience (i.e. submatriculation) has practically no value and I’m 95% sure you end up competing for the same jobs undergrads (rather than business school students) because honestly, you don’t know any more than the average undergrad. </p>
<p>The normal process is:
undergrad -> analyst -> business school -> associate
I suggest you ask some recruiters, but I’m pretty sure submatriculants do not get to jump to an associate position</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How will the M&T program limit your chances? You get the exact same engineering degree as you would from another school, plus an extra degree (a separate diploma) from Wharton. If anything, you have a huge advantage over the typical engineering student</p>
<p>What I mean by M&T possibly being limitting is that UPenn is not as prestigious as Stanford in terms of engineering. + Some people tell me that Stanford is more prestigious than UPenn (most people I talk to have never heard of the M&T program).</p>
<p>How would M&T (Engineering and Wharton degree) compare to Stanford (Engineering and then Management Science Engineering coterm)?</p>
<p>How many classes do M&T students usually take per semester? According to the website, it says that it’s typically 5-6 courses or even more??</p>
<p>abcdeff, i can GUARANTEE you that every prominent soul in the business field knows of the Jerome Fisher M&T program. and i TOTALLY agree with system failure that if ur interested in bizz and engineering then ‘it is THE thing!’</p>
<p>Don’t even consider prestige (not that M&T is not equally or more prestigious than Stanford, but different people are always going to have different perceptions). You’ll realize soon enough that it’s pretty worthless in the scheme of things. I think you might be splitting hairs a bit at this stage of the game when considering things like MBA submatriculation and what looks better. Visit each school, because you might realize you hate one and it’ll make the decision that much easier. And your interests might change, too–don’t put all your eggs into one basket and then realize you don’t want to pursue what you initially chose the school for.</p>
<p>If we’re talking about prestige, its important to be clear who’s evaluating. Why would you care if a random person on the street knows your school or not? It’ll make you feel good for all of what… 2 seconds? Rather, be concerned with what recruiters and those in the industry think.</p>
<p>Not even considering M&T, on wall street order of rep goes like
Wharton & Harvard> Stanford & Princeton> other ivies.
With M&T, opportunities are unparalleled.</p>
<p>So if you were to go through the m&t program, you’re most likely stuck on the east coast? I really want to come back to california, however i also really want to pursue the jerome fisher quality education in the east. I’m not in any way assuming that I get in, but this may be an important factor as to even applying. any thoughts on the location issue after graduating?</p>
