<p>@ c0nfused11:
I don’t know much about M&T’s preferences. I would guess that the number of SEAS students who apply M&T transfer is much higher than the number of Wharton students, but maybe not 86% of the total. Still, one factor may be that it’s easier to make a case for the added value of M&T to an engineering degree than to a Wharton degree (many of the “intangible” factors that made me interested in M&T, like network and general breadth of opportunities, are already pretty good for Wharton students). Also, my general read has been that the highest achieving engineering students are more academically intense/determined than the highest achieving Wharton students (though I’m biased since I know many more engineering students than Wharton students), which could also tilt the ratio in the SEAS direction.</p>
<p>Completing the uncoordinated degree in 4 years is hard but doable. Unless you have a large (8+) amount of AP credits coming in, it will probably require multiple 6.5 credit semesters (if not 7), and that will be with minimal room for flexibility/“elective” courses. This means you don’t have as much time as you’d probably like to do things outside of class. I’m not entirely sure that it’s worth it.</p>
<p>@Gratisfaction: Yes. And I really spend far too much of my time there.</p>
