Popularity of M&T and Huntsman - Why?

[PrincetonDreams]

<p>

Acceptance to these programs is far more selective than HYPS, so another benefit is that the students are all with other students who are truly the best of the best.

</p>

<p>This is utter nonsense. Huntsman’s acceptance rate was around 35% for the 2008-2009 cycle according to my admissions officer dear. :)</p>

<p>

There is a couple of reasons for the popularity of these programs. One is the resources available. Help with job/internship placement, a dedicated lounge and classrooms, etc. Another is the community that is fostered. Many students choose Hunstman over Harvard, Yale, etc.

</p>

<p>This, however, is very true. Huntsman is an amazing program.</p>
