Applied for M&T, got into SEAS - planning dual degree in CS/Eng (most likely) and Econ/Business. But this is all based on what I know now, not what happens during the next year or so.
Question: How are advisers assigned and how much help do they provide in explaining options and determining requirements for coursework during this initial year? Open university is a great concept. But you can’t sit in on all the classes if you want to get a degree in a reasonable amount of time. This seems especially true for both engineering and business, as very few high school grads understand what these are really about.
