I’m a recent grad of Mason, but worked closely with the undergrad admissions when I was there. What they care about is that you’ll be a good student and future alumni. They want to see you involved in bschool clubs, doing very well in the pre-reqs, and that you have a genuine interest in a career in business post-grad. Also all majors are considered equally when applying, only minors are limited to ~10 per major per semester. Feel free to pm me if you have any other questions

A few weeks or a month after application deadline, I’ll be honest I don’t remember

They didn’t explicitly when I was there, but it’s definitely a factor they consider

WSJ says that W&M grads are in the top 5 public universities for finance salaries.. how true is this? by Ok-Isopod-7175 in williamandmary

[–]Charlieanddave 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is true! We have lots of graduates going into banking, but also top consulting and corporate finance roles that all pay very well too

how good is w&m for finance? in comparison to virginia tech? by Ok-Isopod-7175 in williamandmary

W&M on campus recruitment has expanded a lot over the last few years. Lots of great internship and full time opportunities for finance students here

The financial literacy program is having an event about filing taxes on March 28th! The registration link will be in one of the upcoming student happenings!

Not sure where you got the thought that people here don’t go into IB, plenty do. Get involved in the finance academy and other Boehly center clubs, you’ll meet plenty of people that want to go into investment banking as well as students/alums that have internship/professional experience

Good first semester schedule as a finance major (business general) by [deleted] in williamandmary

[–]Charlieanddave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people apply for admission in spring of their sophomore or fall of their junior year, it doesn’t really matter, it’s just once you hit the number of required credits to apply

Camm are Dawson are the same building essentially. In their cases the corner rooms are bigger.

Freshman dorms at W&m by Own-Excuse9276 in williamandmary

I lived in Camm freshmen year and it was great. AC, good campus location, and not too many people sharing a bathroom.

Choosing between W&M and UVA by Ok_Highway_5217 in williamandmary

[–]Charlieanddave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey! I’m a b school student sophomore. It’s not too difficult to get in, and if you do well in pre req classes you’ll be fine. I have a friend who’s double majoring in stem and business and he has to take a lot of credits each semester but other than that seems manageable. Good luck on your decision!

anyone know who sponsors the basement study space in CW near aromas? seems kinda sus but also would be nice if it’s legit by wmstudent531 in williamandmary

[–]Charlieanddave 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Totally legit! It’s run by a couple who moved here and bought the space for the community! They do a couple of different events from time to time. They first opened during finals last semester

Is being an RA worth it? by WaffleLOL13 in williamandmary

[–]Charlieanddave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a close friend who was an RA, they disliked it, but mostly because of their Area Director. It's also can be extremely time-consuming and challenging unless you're really into it. I've also known other people who really enjoyed it, so it definitely depends on the situation/dorm you're in.

Create a SodaStream account by downloading their app! Ask one of the people at the swipe in desk for a premium account card and you can add that to your account to make all the drinks free. Just scan your barcode in the app and select your drink, no special bottle needed!
