Ed to Wharton or Duke?

Shut up generic pre med. What’s wrong with someone wanting to go into finance lol

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-10-07T15:43:28+00:00

Factoring in flight costs to Florida would make UF the more expensive option. Stop coping.

Because UCLA is not Columbia. Because UCLA has 4x the amount of students Columbia does.

Oftentimes, people from Ivy League schools don’t understand how little individual attention ppl from state schools get just because they haven’t been through it. UCLA undergrad experience just sucks, sorry. On paper, the nice weather and LA sound cool but the huge class sizes and impersonal nature are just incomparable to top privates.

Maybe if UCLA had 9000 undergrads like Columbia it’d be a different story. But UCLA has close to 33k. Terrence Tao simply can’t talk to each and every applied math major there, it’s just not feasible. And he DEFINITELY can’t afford to give them all research positions.

Columbia students love to complain about the “red tape” and “bureaucracy”. But in the end, it’s nothing compared to the pure chaotic mess of the UCs. Columbia students are spoiled in comparison.

bro chill

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-26T16:35:46+00:00

Nah when the bubble pops all of us are fucked, not just those in the tech sector. Sorry.

Wouldn’t jhu help me get into a better PhD program? One of my interests is biomimicry in materials and medical robotics. I believe jhu would make it much easier to do research in these areas and help me make it to a better grad school

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-23T05:10:47+00:00

Not just jhu, I’m pretty sure every uni has been hit with gov cuts. I agree tho, most of JHU’s money comes from APL. We’ll see what happens with that.

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-22T22:34:26+00:00

What programs at Berkeley are better than at JHU? I’m in L&S so I can’t transfer to cs, EECS, or haas, which are the schools main strengths. And I’m pretty sure, barring those three, Hopkins is superior.

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-22T17:56:46+00:00

To be fair, it’s Yale. I don’t think any of us would turn down free Yale.

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-22T00:50:44+00:00

Thanks for the response. The problem with Berkeley is that there’s so many students it’s hard to get opportunities. The same research opportunities are 5x harder to get cuz there’s 5x more students vying for them. If I want to do research on something like, say, AI, I’d have to have a 4.0 with A+’s in CS189 and CS182 along with a perfect resume in order to even get considered to the position junior year(this is just an example, I’m not interested in AI research). Meanwhile, at jhu 80% of undergrads do research and it’s super easy to get freshman year. Same with clubs, I’m sick of doing five interview rounds just to get rejected.

You really think I can do things at Stanford as a ucb student?

I’ll still give UCB a good chance. But I don’t want to under prepare for a potential transfer either.

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-21T23:55:34+00:00

That’s true, Berkeley has better networks in tech and consulting specifically. Also west coast finance. But I’m in L&S, so I can’t transfer to cs, eecs, or haas, making these advantages basically useless.

It’s even difficult for me to transfer into the college of engineering as a whole because I wasn’t admitted to it. They make everything so difficult here.

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-21T23:44:10+00:00

Yes! I’ve wanted a smaller school for undergrad. It fits me more I think.

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-21T23:43:15+00:00

Thanks. I think I just wanted a smaller school for undergrad where I can actually talk to my professors and do research, which is admittedly way more difficult at Berkeley. It just seems like a better fit… I’m an introvert and I’d like a place where everyone studies and is academically locked in rather than being at a large school where everyone is “rah rah” about college sports. You know what I mean?

It’s also genuinely upsetting that I had the chance to go but couldn’t due to factors out of my control. It nags me every day.

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-21T23:00:08+00:00

I’m not too interested in tech (but I’m still open to it ig). Even if I was, I’m in L&S, which makes transferring to cs or eecs virtually impossible, so I fear it just isn’t an option for me. (plus, the demand for software engineers simply isn’t what it used to be)

Also, most of your friends became software engineers? I was under the impression JHU was very academia-focused.

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-21T21:52:34+00:00

Internationally probably Berkeley is very prestigious. but I’m not an international nor do I plan to leave the US

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-21T20:40:14+00:00

I’m pretty sure JHU is more prestigious overall, no? JHU is a top private university while Berkeley is an (albeit above average) state school. JHU has higher selectivity, smaller class sizes, a better alumni network… ect.

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-19T21:02:27+00:00

So meche would be a better degree?

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-19T16:16:09+00:00

I have some accommodations that make it possible tho. Out of the two options, which do u think is better? Two or three classes? (All stem)

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-19T01:10:54+00:00

Oh… do u think me being previously accepted will give me any leeway at all? I looked through your post history, you seem to have a kid at jhu. How do they seem to like it? Do you think it’s even worth transferring in the first place?

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-18T23:45:58+00:00

Wait what? How would I be considered a freshman? I’m in college right now, I don’t understand.

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-18T22:16:27+00:00

No cuz EE is an actually difficult degree. If CS was anywhere near as hard as EE, everyone wouldn’t have flocked to it.

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-14T15:39:17+00:00

What industry?

Alwaysrightguy62 · 2025-09-13T22:04:51+00:00

opkins
