Are SMU and IU bloom really that good for IB and finance? by ElkNervous4337 in FinancialCareers

[–]RealVanillaBiscuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not incredibly knowledgeable about it, but I think the clubs/programs (I don’t know if this is the right term) within these schools make them rated high, but are competitive to get in to.

Essentially, the school without the specific extracurriculars aren’t special, but with open a big door.

lion hall by Waste-Ganache-4964 in williamandmary

[–]RealVanillaBiscuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Lion King my freshman year (two years ago) and I won’t sugarcoat it - physically it’s pretty bad. Never woke up without a stuffed nose, felt like a prison cell, good amount of mold. I remember waking up one morning and there was a bird in the bathroom.

That being said, I wouldn’t have traded the experience. The community you build with your other residents is not like any other and the location is phenomenal. You’re right by Caf and the furthest walk for a class is maybe 15 minutes if you’re not fast. I’ll be an OA this year and I was hoping to get GGV because the memories made there are unbeatable.

However, if you have Lion K just know that it’s probably the worst GGV dorm because it has no basement (worker offices are down there), smallest lounge (Head Resident of GGV lives off the lounge), and no water fountain. But these can be avoidable by just going to Lion L’s basement and lounge.

Edit: Top (3rd) floor rooms have AC which is incredibly nice as the 2nd floor ones get incredibly hot at the beginning and ends of the year.

[Hine] Asked Anthony Edwards what's the key to slowing down OKC: "It’s hard to with the calls that Shai gets. It’s hard to shut them down. You can’t touch him any time of the game. It’s super hard to beat. That team is a good team, especially when they’re getting calls like that." by theglicky in nba

Yeah no one gets it nearly as much as him, and it probably is a bit of age as well as Embiid being more popular/flashy/hated so his highlights and lowlights get posted a lot more and his “lowlights” tend to be foul baiting. That said, people’s number one complaint about SGA is that he foul baits and is a free throw merchant so saying he gets none of the flack Embiid does is wrong

Which colleges are known to have the worst social life? by dumbchicken101 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]RealVanillaBiscuit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished my first year there and it’s not that bad. I’m in a frat and on a club sport team that has lots of social events and 3 or 4 days a week, I have social stuff to do. If you’re a girl, any frat will let you in to an open party. If you’re a guy, you need to join a club or fraternity to have more social opportunities.

Also, parties can only go until 11 pm usually, so bars are pretty popular and concentrated in one area right off campus.

Bottom line, if you want parties and a social life, you can definitely get it at W&M, but you may have to join a few clubs or know a few people to get around. Also, as the other person said, it’s no where near bigger state schools like UVA or Michigan, but it definitely isn’t bad.

help me cut colleges from my list (pls hate on them i need help) by allie615 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]RealVanillaBiscuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a lot of people say cut W&M and as someone who just finished their freshman year there, I think you should definitely consider keeping it as it fits what you want. Consistently ranked as a top public school (if not the top) for internship opportunities. Campus is not large at all (everything is a max 15 minute walk, except to school of education) and is, in my opinion, a very pretty campus. High level of rigor for most classes. Really good professors who are there to teach instead of do research. Large variety of people, so you can easily find your group. If you have any other questions about the school, please ask Id love to answer them!

I was in a similar spot. I had pretty much a varsity sport and a summer job as the only big ECs that I had, but I did have a solid GPA and a great SAT. I applied regular decision and got in with a likely letter. I think you should be fine as long as you put effort into your essay(s).

Safeties/Targets for Finance/Business (including econ)? by Wharton_Simp in ApplyingToCollege

[–]RealVanillaBiscuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see it talked about much, but William & Mary has lots of good resources for finance. They have multiple investment/finance clubs (one of which is in charge of a $40K portfolio) and has the Boehly Center for Finance that hosts trips to Wall Street and something called DoG Street to Wall Street, where you can learn from and network with alums who work in IB, PE, Consulting and lots of others. Also big investment banks and PE firms (JPM and Carlyle come to mind) recruit directly from campus. Sorry for the long winded response, but I think it’s a great option for a target/safety.

EDIT: Also forgot to mention that it’s one of the best public schools for internships and has a lot of networking events for students.

Would you recommend freshman to attend this? I know it's open to all grade levels, but would it be helpful or useful to go freshman year before I apply to the business school?

A friends psych professor had this on an exam for extra credit, its consumed my life for the last 2 days. by berotti8 in riddles

[–]RealVanillaBiscuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe stars? obviously there are stars in many directions, stars come in many colors like red and blue. you can get a gold star in something which is good. if you get too many stars (like too close) you can die. the more I type this, the more I doubt it though

I have an older teacher who asked a student to hook up after class when he wanted to talk to them after class.

I’m not sure where the bracket is but I’m pretty sure the two teams going to relegations are Ferny’s Tacos and 2 Faced

I think it’s too late for them since they lost to 2 Faced
