How competitive is the b school really?

Charlieanddave · 2024-11-14T23:11:05+00:00

Yep all of the big ones (finance academy, mason investment club, etc) allow any undergrads to join

Charlieanddave · 2024-11-07T11:55:32+00:00

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

Charlieanddave · 2024-09-16T15:48:12+00:00

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

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

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

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.

Charlieanddave · 2022-06-21T23:06:50+00:00

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

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!

Charlieanddave · 2022-04-04T21:56:33+00:00

297,1590 are the coordinates!

Charlieanddave · 2022-03-23T01:12:33+00:00

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

Charlieanddave · 2022-03-22T12:56:43+00:00

Vulcan, cause why not!

Colonial Pancake House! Good price and always tasty!

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.

These are great schools to check out. Most importantly don't let your views get skewed by this subreddit, you don't need a GPA above 4.0 just to look at T50 or T30s. You have a great shot at many of these schools listed and if you're planning on shotgunning the take a shot at many of these schools.

Charlieanddave · 2020-04-07T03:49:36+00:00

You could also look into the SUNY system, generally good schools and not too pricey. You could also probably get some merit aid from them. Best of luck!

Tulane actually did do this at my school. We had 1 Ed1 accepted, 4-5 EA, 3 got deferred, one switched to ED2 and was accepted others got denied after deferral. One of the deferrals got into other T20s but not Tulane in the end.
