<p>So i got into the M&TSI thing a couple days ago...</p>
<p>How do colleges look at it and how competitive was it to get in? Does it help when applying to Penn?</p>
<p>See you guys there</p>
<p>i applied two weeks ago and im waiting for the decision… how long did it take to get yours? i think it helps a lot… like 80 percent of the kids at least who have done it the last 3 years ended up getting into penn</p>
<p>about 3 weeks…</p>
<p>I have a solid gpa and a 2330…</p>
<p>and a couple aps and only 800 math sat II.</p>
<p>Does it help for M&T specifically?</p>
<p>M&TSI has no bearing on your admission to Penn, or M&T for that matter. M&TSI is for your own benefit… if you want to see if the combination of business and engineering at Penn is really something you want to venture into. A lot of students who do M&TSI are fairly strong students to begin with, so the entire pool is already a bit self-selective. </p>
<p>But, just to make it clear, M&TSI doesn’t have any impact on your application.</p>
<p>Did any of you guys also apply to LBW?</p>
<p>if so, which one would you pick? given that you get into both ;)</p>
<p>Applying for M&TSI shows a general interest in both the subject areas and the school. I could see admissions officers looking favorably at this, but it will not make or break your chances.</p>
<p>I attended M&TSI last summer and am now going to Wharton (didn’t apply to M&T). You can PM me if you have any questions about M&TSI, pros, cons, and how it correlates to Penn admissions the next year.</p>
<p>going to m&tsi certainly shows that you have a vested interest in their program, so i can’t see how it wouldn’t be a positive addition to your app. anyway i got accepted too so i’ll see you in july!</p>
