UPenn M&T regular decision results insights?

I'm considering applying to UPenn's M&T program under regular decision. Does anyone know how competitive it is and when I might hear about acceptance? Any insights into the process would be really helpful!

The Jerome Fisher Program in Management and Technology (often referred to as M&T) at UPenn is a highly competitive dual-degree program. The program blends the study of business and technology by combining resources from the Wharton School and the School of Engineering and Applied Science.

Acceptance into this program can be challenging due to its selectivity. Typically, the program accepts around 50 students per class, from an application pool of over 2,000. This leads to an acceptance rate of approximately 2.5%.

Please remember that these are only averages and they can vary year to year depending on the application pool. While it may seem daunting, if you have a strong passion for both management and technology, along with demonstrated achievement in those areas, it's worth applying!

As for when you might hear back after applying regular decision, UPenn typically releases decisions in late March. However, the exact date can vary each year, and you should definitely keep an eye on any communication from the university or check their admissions website for updates as the decision date approaches.

Finally, as you prepare your application, remember to highlight your experiences that demonstrate a strong interest in both business and engineering. This could include coursework, extracurricular activities or internships. Any aspect that reflects your ability to succeed in a rigorous, multidisciplinary program will be valuable. It's also essential to show your understanding of the M&T program's unique pedagogical approach – how the integration of these two fields can help you achieve your academic and professional goals. Demonstrating fit with the program's philosophy can be a significant factor in the admission decision.

Best of luck with your application!
