I am a M&T Transfer, AMA (ask me anything)

<p>Also just got a PM which I still can’t respond to (1 more post after this one). Question was:
Thanks for your previous messages. Since there are so many transferred into regular dual degree and still very few got in M&T, there must be big difference in regard to program quality, career opportunity outlook, etc. Am I right? Can you elaborate on that? What are the other differences? Why did you choose M&T rather than dual degree other than the fact that it takes more courses for dual degree to graduate? Which route is easier, Wharton then dual degree/M&T or SEA then dual/M&T? Btw, how competitive is the grading for M&T kids? Is it always curved? Thanks so much.</p>

<p>Answer:</p>

<p>I don’t know too much about career outlook. I imagine most dual degree students are able to get the jobs they want, same as M&T. M&T is just a coordinated program, so they keep the number of students in it low.
The peer group and network are tighter-knit. And it has a name/reputation for itself beyond just Wharton + Engineering.</p>

<p>I don’t know which route is easier. It’s definitely more likely that you’ll get into M&T as a transfer from SEAS.</p>

<p>Grading for M&T is the same as grading for other Penn students. Most classes are curved.</p>
