<p>I did this last summer. I think I posted on this topic in another thread. But the program is amazing. I would dare say that it is better than LBW because it includes a lot more info and it is for credit. It really is an international experience. We had kids from India, Bulgaria, South Africa, Korea, etc. You get to do some labs, listen to guest lecturers (we had the vice dean of Wharton, , as one of our guests last year), visit tech firms, and there are also class lecturers on marketing and developing case studies. Something else we did that was an awesome experience was the design/marketing plan. Basically, we had teams and each team would develop not only a product and make a model of it, but also present a full on marketing plan on it. We also had production simulation games, it had to do with making boxes, one of my favs. So it's packed with a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. You get to stay in the Quad, dine on campus. There are nightly activities daily. Movies, theme parks, golf, tennis, shopping, midnight snack parties. We also visited DC and NYC during weekends. It was basically a jam-packed 3 weeks. Plus, if you're really interested in M&T, all the RAs are M&Ters. And I believe I know already 2 people who did the program got into M&T this year early. And a couple more got into Penn in general. In other words, I highly recommend it.</p>

<p>Whew, that was a long paragraph... some of the sentences are bound to make no sense, so please excuse me on that. lol!</p>
