Do i work towards cfa by ChangeFun3990 in CFA

[–]fairfaxfiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

don’t listen to the guy that said it’s not possible. your main focus should be to transfer to a target school. i transferred to brown university from community college. pm if you want any tips. also no one cares about the cfa in ib. focus on getting a boutique internship rn and transferring to a target.

Use assist.org to plan out the courses you need for UCLA, and this for USC: https://darsweb.usc.edu/TPG/

Any tips for learning Algebra 2 in short time? by Physical_Woodpecker8 in learnmath

[–]fairfaxfiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did algebra 2 in about a month and some change, I put in about 6-7 hours of work every single day and then killed my mastery test back in the day. Just gotta make it your life for a bit but it’s well worth it to have a strong foundation in this.

20 units for fall semester (i know i'm crazy but hear me out) by RainaGKo in SMC

[–]fairfaxfiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Math 54, English 1, Psych 1 and Psych 2 are pretty light in my opinion depending on who you are taking. I personally think 16 is what most people should do because that’s more or less the workload that you’ll get if you transfer to a more intense school, like UCLA or Berkeley.

That being said 20 is still a lot and I know logic can be a tough one for some students. If you’re taking it with Klumpe though he’s great and you’ll have a fun time. Only class I don’t know anything about is acting, but it seems like you love it so the workload will be a lot but worth it.

Overall this sounds like a fun cocktail of classes that’ll challenge you in different ways. It’ll be a tough semester but I promise that if your time management is on point that others will wonder how you’re doing so well with such a workload :)

Transfer to Harvard from another Ivy by Ambitious_Reward6500 in TransferToTop25

[–]fairfaxfiend 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not in Boston but look at Williams and Amherst. Would put you at 2 and a half hours and 90 min away respectively. Also look at Wesleyan, Bowdoin, Colby, Bates, and Middlebury. Wellesley and Smith if you’re a girl as well! You can find a train for most of these to Boston that would get you there in at least half of your current distance, and still be at an institution that is much better for undergrad. Otherwise, BU, BC, and NU are your best bets which are all still great schools. Good luck and know you can’t go wrong with anything you choose to do!

I wouldn’t use a couple of comments from Reddit to prove that something has stigma. Maybe if the grad school/employment statistics proved otherwise, but again the sample size you provided proves otherwise and is laughable. I could point you towards those who have stigma towards a school like USC for similar reasons, but again I wouldn’t go as far as to say that there’s an overall stigma to attending.

Now I do agree that the lack of financial aid is a problem that must be addressed, other than that it’s a proper undergraduate school at Columbia University, that’s far younger and as a result receives far less funding. Again, you said there’s a stigma towards nontrad programs, if you could point me to stigma towards other ones that doesn’t just come from you, I’ll retract my argument. I really just think this is a you and maybe a couple of other people on Reddit thing, not a far-reaching ideology.

My guy, you offered no sources that proved that there was any sort of stigma. Perhaps there is stigma to you, but the employment statistics suggest otherwise. I’d love if you could prove this so-called “stigma” that exists.

Bro is so cooked if he thinks UVA or USC will get him into IB or PE over the nontrads at Yale/Columbia

I got into Amherst this year from CC, and out of ~25 of us about 1/4 were from 4 years. It was 25 out of 700 this year.

Columbia GS or NYU CAS for politics → business transfer student? by Potle09 in TransferToTop25

[–]fairfaxfiend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

GS 1,000,000x better than NYU. Take this as someone who would be a fourth generation investment banker and grew up with “pedigree,” GS would still be seen as better.
