it’s very difficult to get into m&t because the only criteria / evaluation is gpa (meaning nothing else matters), and you’ll find it’s tough to keep such a high gpa as they want (3.8+)

a good number of students in penn engineering do the economics track within electrical + systems engineering, which allows them to take a lot of finance and accounting courses…

see the list here: http://www.ese.upenn.edu/ugrad/sys-concentrations.html#eco

the better question is what your career plans are: penn attracts more non-traditional, pre-professional engineering students (pre-med, pre-law, pre-business) than just pure engineers, due to the broad range of interdisciplinary options, while cornell has a better pure engineering program.
