M&T Email?

<h2>Did any other M&T applicants get this email? Is it just like a form letter or a semi-likely letter?</h2>

<p>Hi xxxxxx – </p>

<p>We understand you have applied to The Jerome Fisher Program in Management & Technology at the University of Pennsylvania. As Associate Director of the program, I am happy to write you today with additional information about the M&T Program.</p>

<p>M&T students graduate from Penn with two distinct degrees—a Bachelor of Science in Economics from The Wharton School and either a Bachelor of Science in Engineering or a Bachelor of Applied Science from Penn’s School of Engineering and Applied Science.</p>

<p>One of the benefits of such a unique program is that you have many opportunities available to you. The Wharton School currently offers more than 20 concentrations, and a number of M&T students choose to complete double concentrations (e.g., Finance and Management; <a href=“http://undergrad.wharton.upenn.edu/curriculum/concentrations/concentrations.cfm[/url]”>http://undergrad.wharton.upenn.edu/curriculum/concentrations/concentrations.cfm&lt;/a&gt;). Similarly the School of Engineering and Applied Science offers many choices, with more than 15 degree options (<a href=“Majors”>Majors). The M&T website (<a href=“http://mandt.wharton.upenn.edu%5B/url%5D”>http://mandt.wharton.upenn.edu</a>) will provide you with more detail about the program—click on the links for both Prospective and Current students.</p>

<p>M&T students are extremely active in the Penn community. Many participate in the numerous clubs, sports teams and other activities available to students; a number hold positions of leadership. The Undergraduate Admissions website has information about student life at Penn (<a href=“http://www.admissionsug.upenn.edu/life[/url]”>http://www.admissionsug.upenn.edu/life&lt;/a&gt;). Please take a moment to explore the opportunities that are available; you are sure to find something that interests you.</p>

<p>M&T students have always been highly successful in finding an exciting internship, that important first job, or pursuing an advanced degree. In recent years, M&T students have been the recipients of a number of prestigious awards to pursue graduate study. The Gates-Cambridge Scholarship, for example, is awarded to 50 graduating students across the country each year to support graduate study in a field of their choice at Cambridge University. In recent years 3 M&T students have won this outstanding award! M&T students are standouts at Penn and beyond.</p>

<p>I encourage you to contact the M&T Office in the coming weeks to learn more about the program and to ask any questions you might have—whether it’s by e-mail, by phone, or an actual visit to Penn. I will be happy to talk with you personally about any aspect of the M&T program or Penn. Current M&T students will be available to talk with you about their experience as well. We feel strongly that the best way to learn about what it’s like to be an M&T student is to talk to a current student.</p>

<p>Thank you for expressing your interest in The Jerome Fisher Program in Management and Technology.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Scott Reynolds</p>

<p>Yeah - I got one too. It looks to be a form letter, and since there were only 479 apps to M&T total, I think they could afford it ;). Perhaps its simply a way to learn more about the program so that you can better prepare yourself to be let down when you don’t get in?
jk</p>

<p>479 applicants… how many will they pick out of the 479?</p>

<p>did everyone get one? I didn’t. :(</p>

<p>Any other M/T applicants not get one? Mattwonder what are your stats?</p>

<p>My son received one too and we are wondering whether this is a likely note or simply one that encourages people to learn more about the program.</p>

<p>I second mooses41’s question : did any other M/T applicants not get one ?</p>

<p>I am an M/T applicant from MA who hasn’t gotten one of these letters…hopefully its not a bad sign.</p>

<p>mooses41:
my stats 36 ACT, 790 v 760 m
800 II C

whole lotta AP 5’s

<p>The letter really doesn’t say anything about admissions decisions, but speaks only of the M&T program - I don’t know if they’d want to overwhelm their current students by inviting all applicants to chat, but who knows?</p>

<p>Hey, I’m an M&T applicant and I also got the email. Nothing in the wording suggests it is a likely letter. Then again, since this is the first “personal” email Penn has sent me, I’m hoping that its a good sign.</p>

<p>they probably send them as they review them?</p>

<p>aruben, supposedly it is an email. I’ve been refreshing my inbox and it isn’t there. Did you check your email?</p>

<p>thoughtprocess, I think everyone got it at the same time or 4 people wouldn’t have received it. Did you not get one either? Don’t feel bad, I didn’t. :(</p>

<p>I didn’t get one either</p>

<p>Ok. Well the way this is looking (and this is just me thinking out loud, i could definitely be wrong), i really doubt that these are likely letters seeing as how like 4 of us got them (seems high considering M&T’s acceptance rate). However, my guess is they might be sending them to kids whose applications are still being reviewed for m/t and have not been send to either wharton or seas.</p>

<p>Let me know what you think.</p>

<p>got one here too</p>

<p>oh and mooses…the whole cc board and the penn board in particular is filled with many high achievers in general, right? so i wouldnt be surprised if 4 of them got likely letters…thats just a guess…maybe im wrong? what’s your take on it guys?</p>

<p>Well, they are obviously extremely qualified, so they might be likely letters (errr…likely e-mails).</p>

<p>No email here :(</p>

<p>i got a actual letter about m&t but i didnt get in</p>

<p>Mike was that last admissions cycle or ed this year? What time of year did you get the letter, and was it similar to this email? Thanks for the info.</p>

<p>hahaha…this is sketchy and uplifting at the same time!</p>
