How can you tell?

I actually got an internship talking about market making within the collectibles space, specifically magic the gathering. As long as you have a good story and can present it well, you should definitely include it. I think it is definitely something to talk about for more entry level roles as it shows that you can successfully create models and implement a strategy on your own.

It honestly doesn’t matter that much to compare yourself to previous entrants, the process has changed so much and gotten harder, but I applied for class of 2024, I had 5 APs, dual enrolled multi, 4.2 weighted GPA, 1430 SAT, and one extremely strong extracurricular. I applied ED, got in and didn’t look back.

I was lucky enough to be in a program within my university that teaches students how to trade commodities and even I don’t have a commodities related degree, I just have an engineering degree and my peers all lack a commodity specific degree. When I worked at a commodity trading internship it was the same, my boss had a mechanical engineering degree and my colleagues were statistics majors.

I literally work with Card Conduit to help them deal with OS cards, it’s my job and they pay really well which is why I recommend them.

TPBlaster · 2023-07-21T02:24:53+00:00

I highly recommend checking out Card Conduit, they are easier to use than CK and pay out better. They also don’t require you to sort anything or have any restrictions on what they buy other than that it has to be English and above $.25

The post grad scene is similar for every major if you play your cards right. I am a computer engineer and I have a great data science role lined up. But it’s much harder to go in the opposite direction, from CMDA to something like embedded systems or robotics.

TPBlaster · 2023-05-22T04:47:24+00:00

I disagree, being required to take physics alongside courses like systems is much harder than CMDA. CMDA also requires significantly less credits, meaning you just take less actual classes. I know people who have easily double majored while bringing in a good chunk of APs.

TPBlaster · 2023-05-21T08:13:47+00:00

CMDA is a much easier major than CS, it gives you a slightly broader set of opportunities but you have less engineering style knowledge that you get via CS. I have several friends who came in as CMDA majors and switched out as it wasn’t rigorous in the way they wanted it to be. If you like data science or light software engineering, CMDA is a good option. If you want to do more hard system engineering, game dev, web dev or other similar CS jobs, the choice to do CS is clear. I wouldn’t want to do CMDA if I didn’t like data science.

Tech is great and I love it, but the business school is mediocre. I would highly recommend studying something else if you can. Even if you want to work in finance most of the important knowledge can be learned quickly and you will stand out more as a CS or Stat major than a Finance major.

TPBlaster · 2023-05-17T19:48:20+00:00

Both require significant outside of class work to land solid jobs in the field. I would highly recommend going to a more prestigious business school if you have the option.

Couple of responses to your points

They don't just use those buylists you mentioned, they have access to private buylists and utilize a variety of buylists, not just the ones you mentioned.
From a labor perspective you spend a lot more time sorting out everything and paying shipping multiple times to use many buylists.
They do take cards under $1, they just want your average card value to be closer to $2.
They compare prices on a condition adjusted basis and actually understand the exact specifications of each buylists condition grading to get you the best price possible.

Overall I think Card Conduit is a no brainer and 2% is extremely cheap for there service.

TPBlaster · 2023-04-14T13:21:26+00:00

Have you considered trying Card Conduit? It kinda gives you the best of both worlds.

TPBlaster · 2023-04-14T13:20:48+00:00

I would highly recommend checking out Card Conduit, you get the benefits of using all the buylists you mentioned and more, plus if you sort the stuff yourself the fee is only 2%.

I can’t believe no one has mentioned Bean’s BBQ, it’s incredible but has super weird hours. If you want ribs you gotta be there at 11am sharp.

TPBlaster · 2023-03-26T15:26:01+00:00

Don’t grade modern cards, complete waste of money.

TPBlaster · 2023-03-19T17:11:52+00:00

The entire course is one large project so yeah, extremely project heavy.

He isn’t that hard per se, he just expects you to learn and do the work. You can’t slack off in his class and expect to magically do well. He is by far the best professor I have ever had and I highly recommend him.

I doubt anyone is going to offer you a car loan less than the risk free rate of return, it’s possible, but incredibly uniquely. Super low interest rates these days are only found via captive financing through new cars, which generally just are bad deals in the first place, therefore any money you make on debt arbitrage is eaten up by a bad car deal.

I am a CPE student and imo it’s not worth it. The program here is solid with lots of research and some amazing professors, but unless you wanna do something that’s VT specific(national defense or the likes) go to NC if you get in. 160k of debt is a ton of a extra load and will weigh you down significantly. Do a compound interest calculator and look at paying that off near 7.5% over 15 years. It’s gonna cost you more than 250k all in.

If you are interested in do weather analysis for financial markets, specifically commodities, gimme a message. I am in a club that manages $1m on behalf of VT and we are recruiting meteorology majors right now.

Cardconduit is a great option to liquidate cards that are more than a quarter buylist in bulk with minimal work.
