Should I even apply to Jerome Fisher? Should I just apply to SEAS UPenn?
I say this because I will most likely not get into M&T but I want to get into SEAS. Will writing a M&T essay help my chances of getting into SEAS?
I don’t think your chances of getting into SEAS will be positively or negatively affected by applying to M&T. Applying to M&T is worth it depending on what kind of stats you have. If realistically you think you have a chance for M&T then try for it and put SEAS as your second choice. You will be considered for SEAS acceptance if you get rejected from M&T. But if your scores and GPA are like on the lower end of the admitted range for Penn and you do not have something else spectacular in your application then it is probably safe to say that M&T is not realistic for you.
