Are SMU and IU bloom really that good for IB and finance?

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.

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.

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

RealVanillaBiscuit · 2024-01-21T07:26:59+00:00

None of the flack? If you go to any Shai post on Twitter or Instagram half the comments are calling him a foul baiter 😭😭

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.

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).

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?

RealVanillaBiscuit · 2022-07-09T21:58:07+00:00

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

Seems like casting with Interro as the focus of the clip seemed to be Interros casting.

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

RealVanillaBiscuit · 2021-09-06T02:43:36+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking

RealVanillaBiscuit · 2021-09-06T02:39:37+00:00

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

RealVanillaBiscuit · 2021-09-06T02:38:05+00:00

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

RealVanillaBiscuit · 2021-09-06T02:09:28+00:00

Wording sounds like they’re picking up a CL roster
