M&TSI 2016

My daughter got accepted to U Penn’s m&tsi. How is this program? She is waiting for wtp and MIT Launch. Any comparisons?

not familiar with wtp, but m&t is more class focused while mit you can create more projects and such, so if she’s looking for tangible experiences to bring out then mit launch is great, but penn’s m&tsi is also v good for getting into penn if she’s interested in that school

Thanks @ayudameporfavor . WTP is alo an MIT summer program. Both should come out in next week or so.

Are all M&TSI acceptance letters out? Do they inform you if you were rejected?

I think all decisions come out by 4/15.

@CaliDad2017 Congrats to your daughter! Would you mind sharing her stats in terms of grades and standardized testing and essay content? I applied too but was rejected, and I’m trying to figure out the reason

My friend went to that m&tsi and he said it was the WORST experience of his life. I did the biomedical research program and i had one of the best times of my life. He said that it was test after test, weird kids (yeah it varies), and just no free time. For biomedical research, it was laid back and so freaking awesome.

Yeah, I liked it.

@leaf99 My D has 4.0 gpa, taking lots of APs, has 2400 SAT and pretty active in community.
@chtiger0204 Thx for your inputs.

Update: My D got a solid internship at one of the leading big data products in their software engineering departments and is taking that. I think this aligns better with her intended comp sci major in college.
