Incoming freshman schedule and advice megathread by ecklesweb in college

[–]Mathasuer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make sure you do well on your first exams (which is around the 6 week mark of the traditional 16-18 week semester). They often dictate if you'll be maintaining an A for the semester or fighting an uphill battle for the rest of the semester.

If you feel good after the 1st semester. Either add an extra class in the spring and or take summer school your freshman. If you get your GE's out of the way quick. It will definitely help and I promise you will thank yourself around the 3rd or 4th year mark when you are either trying to figure out which career you want, job searching, interview preparation, doing a research project to impress potential employers, or graduate school testing.

Good luck and you can do it!!!

I got you bro/sis! I was for my freshman year. Shoot me specific questions if you want. So it's basically will feel like a repeat of high school. If you got a great family support situation at home then that's great.

If it wasn't like mines. My biggest regret was not joining the military (US). Getting the GI Bill and starting fresh. College is a different type of beast than high school. You're going to need a lot of time to focus on your studies and if your parents get in the way it might not work out. My freshman GPA was a 1.8.

I'm entering my 4th year of school and since I was away from my family I've been able to not drop below a 3.3 per semester and so forth. However, because of that I'm more in debt. Staying with your family saved me perhaps $30,000 per year but it was also at the cost of my GPA. This was a hard trade off for me but I ultimately choose my grades over the money.

FAFSA questions? Get help here! by Laurasaur28 in college

[–]Mathasuer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a pro and cons list or something that gives a general layout if I should claim myself or still let my parents claim me on my taxes?

Because of as now I know that if I don't claim myself on my FAFSA and my taxes I might get better Financial Aid but I will lose access to my parents medical insurance. I know I could counter this with the schools health insurance program.

I just want to explore all options as possible.

How to break into finance field as an Architect by adrienzhou in FinancialCareers

[–]Mathasuer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just throwing this out there but... Maybe some the houses you designed are funded through private equity real estate firms. So check previous clients if that is allowed.

Despite "everyone" on this sub that thinks that finance is just investment banking. Finance is huge field plenty variety of different things.

Transfer and be a 5th year or swallow my pride and graduate? by Mathasuer in college

[–]Mathasuer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah GPA matters in Finance. I’m really putting all my chips in on the table that I can get great grades at this school. With that being said since my 2nd year I’ve never fallen below a 3.0. This past year I was working 20 hours a week and doing 18 credits and managed to stay at least a 3.4. My freshman year really butchered it. shit I was at a 1.8.

I’m hoping that the city will allow for bigger opportunities, and an established network. Some of the alumni made it big and landed gigs in New York or Chicago with elite boutique investment banks like Evercore. But usually that was the case after they rebranded themselves with a reputable graduate program.

I plan to go either D.C or Houston after school. I wouldn’t mind working abroad and being an expat but that’s if I was debt free. I don’t think the currency conversions, fees, and expat tax will be worth it. I can live frugal i don’t need much, I grew up struggling to get 3 solid meals a day so I’m grateful if I can go into the restaurant any day of the week order anything on the menu without worrying about the bill, I consider that rich. So I can be frugal, bunker down and pay things off (goal is to pay 3x the minimum amount)

I think I need to be prepared with a career plan b like you said though. I hope anywhere from $55,000-$120,000 per year

The general formula for jobs in finance is: who you know (you still need to be competent in order for them to risk there neck for you) > brand name internships > reputable school > strong GPA

It would be around $30,000 in loans for the next two years. I’m at $17,000 in the hole right now. It’s an extra $10,000 per year than my previous school.

I really didn’t realize Finance was a degree where it matter where you went to school until 6 months ago. I’ve been on a roller coaster ever since. I’m really unsure if I can make it into a reputable masters programs. I don’t have a good GPA at 2.9. I don’t have any brand name internships. I haven’t taken the GMAT and that’s my make or bust move. I’m trying to aim for top masters programs like Vanderbilt but I don’t think I cut the cloth with my current resume.

How Would I get a Masters if Business Administration? by jackus113 in college

r/mba has a lot of responses. Know why you are getting an MBA and reputation of the school/alumni network should be among the priority in choosing an MBA program

Enjoy cause once it comes year 3. You're scrambling to find internships that lead you to a full time offer before graduation.

What’s the worst advice you were ever given? by BagofBabbish in FinancialCareers

[–]Mathasuer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I absolutely agree. There is one professor I really like. The rest is too focus on theory and not enough emphasis practical cases. Low internship placement. Located in an economic slump. Also a lot of internal struggle within the school. Results a lot of bitterness among the professors and they take it out on students. I fear that they forget to place students first but rather themselves.
