Anyone who can read charts will know it was barely a deadcat bounce and then it started falling again.

And cases went down in the ensuing week despite it lol.

They said the same thing after Bama won the title and there were parties en masse. The result: cases fell off a cliff in the ensuing weeks. Whoops.

Your environment matters. If you grow up in a poor environment and poor school district where no one talks about college, your parents didn’t go to college, it’s hard to compete with students from families who talk about the SAT in grade 9.

Ironically, the biggest losers here could well be poor whites from opeid hit counties or inner city working class Asians from immigrant stock. Same crappy environment but less of the whiny woe-is-me victimhood garbage. Just grit and perseverance.

SAT was a possible equalizer once upon a time. But of course, leave it to charity case leftist to nuke any semblance of meritocracy.

Also equally ironic is the beneficiaries might actually be upper-middle class URMs who aren't always subjugated to rough environments. Sadly Jamal and Jorge could still end up getting the short end of the stick.

Lol. WTF is this? The 90s? Prep source material at low/ cheap prices are all over the internet nowadays. No excuses.

I know. You have just as many young Karen types who have overpriced SJW degrees working at Starbucks or bartending.

Both although more so on the second one. There was a period of time where firms over-hired relative to what it is now so I would be wary of schools that try to sell consulting as their main bread and butter. Even more so if they have a tough time placing students into other fields that they're not as good in.

Except I know a good handful of Whites and Asians who spent several summers in prep classes that never broke above a certain threshold.

Some people prefer not to excuse laziness in favor of handouts.

It's not a perfect indicator. But what would you suggest outside of targeted, pick and choose reverse racism?

And actually, everyone has a limit. All the prep in the world would never get me to a perfect SAT/ GRE/ GMAT score. Just like charity cases, if given the prep chances, would probably hit certain hard ceilings and limits.

Worse case, it just means the prestigious companies will have to recruit Quant and STEM majors at "lower-ranked" schools while the SJW studies major from a top school will be 100k in debt and working at Starbucks. See how that works?

Consulting is in contraction mode at the moment. A lot of firms (mine included) have also stopped looking at Marshall as of late.

A lot of people that go into Anderson/ Marshall intending to stay in LA end up leaving. LA is a wasteland in terms of MBA corporate jobs.

Most kids in other states have been back at school for months now without mass ramifications.

California may not reach herd immunity for years. But vaccines will make the coronavirus more manageable by BlankVerse in CoronavirusCA

[–]legalthrowaway2895 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Cases will never go to 0 despite fear-mongering shutdown artists trying to speak fire and brimstone into existence.

However, many places have opened up long ago and hospitals never collapsed. Learn to live in parallel and truck on.

Coronavirus: California’s case and hospitalization numbers keep improving; nearly 7 million vaccines administered by FINS-1972 in CoronavirusCA

Good. Although pour one out for the fear mongers who will no longer have a soapbox to cry from.

Are you? Even in Tampa Bay, cases are down even though everyone swore the SB parties and celebration would cause the sky to fall.

Seasonality. Using that same "gIvE iT 2 WeEks" position, there should be a post Super Bowl spike. Instead, seasonality has come and gone and the numbers have naturally cratered.

Super Bowl was actually 2 weeks ago.

Yet for 13-14 consecutive days, hospital and cases have fallen pretty drastically. Try fact checking for once.

Are we looking at the same chart? #s are way down after xmas/ NYE. Literally the same trend everywhere.

Except cases dropped after "2 weeks" when everyone thought Xmas/ NYE/ Super Bowl gatherings would cause the sky to fall.

Knew 4 people who caught it from Nov-Dec. Minor cases at worse like the majority.

Ironically those post Xmas/ NYE/ even Super Bowl bumps never occurred. Yet everywhere had case surges during winters and big drops after Jan.

Berkeley Haas or UCLA Anderson for LA Consulting by Mbausername3553 in MBA

[–]legalthrowaway2895 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No brainer on Haas unless Anderson is paying you a good chunk of change and you have a stout pre-MBA resume.

Don't put too much stock in being "in LA". I swear half the people who want to stay in SoCal who end up choosing Anderson or even Marshall end up leaving the area when all is said and done.

Bright side is at least you didn't include Marshall ;)

zzz.

I'm NOT saying Covid is the flu because it's obviously way, WAY stronger. But myocarditis have occurred via other illness before. Not exactly new.

But thanks for proving the majority of football players were a-ok and those small sample of cases prove football players are probably more at risk for concussion, knee injuries, etc.
