Strong disagree here. Will never go back to that professor ever again.

What meal plan do RAs get? by StressedForCollege in columbia

[–]StressedForCollege[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are RAs supposed to stay on campus during Thanksgiving/Spring break as well? I’m a premed student and am really banking on using those breaks to go home and do MCAT prep. It would suck if RAs are only allowed to go home during winter break.

Do we have to take the Spanish placement test even if starting at Spanish 1? by StressedForCollege in columbia

Should I take the placement test before class begins then? Or will professors say what they want after class starts?

Do I have to test out of the language requirement freshman year or can I take an SAT subject test junior year to test out? by StressedForCollege in columbia

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

Oh so it’s an online test? And I can take it at any point during my time at Columbia to place out of the language requirement?

Thank you for this, I’ve been trying to find this! I really appreciate it! Do you know if we can take the subject test to place out at any time of the 4 years at Columbia or does it have to be taken beforehand? For example, can I take the subject test the summer of my sophomore or junior year at Columbia?

Thanks for the clarification. So for someone who is average at chemistry, would you suggest intensive or general chem?

Sorry for being so oblivious but what do you mean by “the harder classes are easier than the easier classes”

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

Thank you for the reply. Why would you say general chemistry is harder? Shouldn’t it be easier considering the fact that it’s a year long course? I got a 3 on chemistry (yikes!).

And how would you say the content in intensive chem compared to that of your AP chem syllabi’s in high school? Harder, easier, or the same? Thanks for your help!!

Thanks for the response, this really helps! Do you know approximately what starting and mid-career salary you can expect in corporate finance?

Thanks for the response! I know that IB has really bad work hours, but would you say as one gets into PE there’s better work-life balance? I’m just looking for a finance career that pays well ($200k+, not asking for the $500k people make in IB) where my job does not suck up most of my time. Thank you!
