So all of you that also got into the M&T program post away here. I'm totally pumped to be going!!!! Also do any of you know how many people were accepted into the program and how many actually matriculate?

yeah how many of you are going to the m&t day?

i will be interested in seeing the statistics of this year's class.

I got accepted at M&T too! I'll definitely try to go to the M&T day, but I'm not sure yet.
I read that only 55 students are accepted annually, but I'd really like to know how many graduate from it, as I'm not sure but I think I saw that some first and second year students drop out of the program and do something else instead. Does anyone know something about that?

Just out of curiosity...what is M&T?

It's the management and technology combined program that they have at Penn. It's also called the Jerome Fischer program.

I got in early

I'm going to M&T day
and Spring Fling

More than 55 students are accepted because not everyone who gets in decides to go. They aim for a class size of about 55 students.

And if I remember correctly, the yield rate is somewhere >= 50%. My head keeps telling me around 67% but I don't know where that number came from.

Pommy - is a prospective M&T student able to attend Spring Fling? Doesn't it end on Saturday?

hey congrats everyone... i'll def be going to M&T day as well, but i'm not sure if i'll be there for spring fling (it depends if I can find a place to crash)

penn's yield rate as a whole university is 67%, but I'm sure the M&T program has a higher yield rate

Spring Fling goes on for the entire weekend.

It annoys me that I'm leaving today.

Ah well, maybe next year, if I get in and decide to go to Penn.

Actually Spring Fling technically ends on Saturday night (which is specified in that link you posted). But the parties will go on through Sunday no doubt haha
