How difficult is M&T?

For reference, I am a HS senior interested in VC as well as traditional IB/PE options. I was extremely excited to apply to M&T but have been consistently hearing that it's extremely difficult to maintain a high GPA and as a result, a decent number of kids flame out in recruiting. Is this true? Will doing M&T hurt your GPA significantly, do I need to take 6 or more classes a semester and how do kids manage the workload?

Bruh...being excited to apply to M&T doesn't mean much

It's difficult enough to get into Wharton--don't make it even more difficult
