M&T vs Wharton

<p>Does applying to M&T give you a boost for Wharton if you are not accepted to M&T?</p>

<p>What is the admit rate for M&T?</p>

<p>it says on penn’s website that they don’t look at your application any different for wharton if you get rejected for M&T. </p>

<p>admit rate for M&T is prob REALLY LOW, considering they only pick 50-60 college freshman a year…</p>

<p>from the research ive done on penn :slight_smile: my dream college</p>

<p>^ Be wary of advice from the poster above, since he himself said ‘I lack knowledge’.</p>

<p>Don’t worry about admit rate. Admit rate does not equal difficulty. The key to getting into dual degree programs is being A GOOD FIT. Don’t just apply to one for the prestige or because they sound cool; only do it if you’re truly passionate about the subjects. M&T is intense btw; avg GPA in engineering is generally below 3.0…</p>

<p>The admit rate is low.</p>

<p>As for “preferential treatment” for applying to M&T and then Wharton, at the Wharton information session we were told that if you are denied for M&T and reviewed for Wharton, the Adcoms at Wharton have no idea you ever applied to M&T.</p>
