<p>I think you have a good shot, you should apply! I’m also considering applying to M&T. I did the M&TSI program this summer and it was a great experience. One thing you should consider is taking the Physics SAT II. Since you have taken E&M, it should be no problem, and they say it definitely helps your application. Also, make sure you are really passionate about M&T before you apply ED and make sure your application reflects that you are a fit for what M&T is really all about.</p>

<p>Yea, I’m drafting up my essays right now, though it would be a lot easier if Penn released it’s supplement already…</p>

<p>I could def take the physics with bio, thanks for the advice</p>

<p>and how was M&TSI? and good luck applying!</p>
