I think every college student gets buyers remorse close to graduation...

Most Baruch kids come in with low SAT's though

If you have an Ivy level profile entering Baruch you should be able to maintain close to a 4.0 pretty easily and build a decent resume

If the Wharton undergrad dude I know had to go to his safety school he might've ended up getting a better job

But of course if you're entering Baruch with median stats then that's a long shot

Psh, the go to strategy if you've got an Ivy profile is to go to an Ivy, major in something easy so you can get a 3.7+ GPA and make it through resume filters, and do extracurriculars. You'll be putting in just as much effort, if not less, than doing some kinda busywork major like business at Baruch, plus you'll have a better degree.

Wharton is unique compared to other Ivy programs because it's more cutthroat and vocational. Your friend might have lost for choosing Wharton, but if he had gone to another school, he still should have stayed within the Ivies.

Also, what's this alleged "non-prestigious" trading job he has? Is it some random ass prop shop gig or are you just downplaying it to call an L on your friend?

Obviously a 2.3 isnt gonna have the banks drolling at the mouth for you. However it still happens and is still feasible. A higher GPA with a larger network makes it much easier. Where are you from anyway scrams? Cause in New York it isnt hard to get in the loop in the financial market. Especially if you are a minority. We tend to help our own to the greatest of our ability.

I don't think this is feasible at all and I think most blacks I know on the street would be too embarrassed to help someone with a GPA that poor. We have it hard it enough as it is. Rocking a 2.3 GPA just confirms in CACs' minds that we're lazy.

Thats why the individual who did that was a CAC like I said in my original post

Obviously if you get into a top school then that's the way to go.... but if it was between a full ride at Baruch vs. minimal financial aid at Stern that seems pretty even to me

Wharton was the only school of its calibre that he got into so that's why he went he wanted to go to Yale really bad and wasn't into the idea of studying business... that's probably why he didn't do so great at Wharton

I'm not gonna elaborate on his job I don't think I'm downplaying it though

Ah, actually, I didn't even catch that CAC part in your post n/m

But at least we can both agree that GPA does matter for blacks at least

You can't even give us a hint? (something like "random ass prop shop in Chicago" or third-tier asset management shop)

Mos Def. That was one of my main points in this thread. Matta fact it was my very first post and reasoning of why we need to go to college even if we feel its not worth it. As a Black Man you got to work 10x times as hard in this country to get what other races naturally get. And even jus for your own personal pride, you dont want people of other races in the office looking down on you, simply cuz they think you are a charity case.

institutional sales and trading for a nondescript firm

I don't think I regret it, I just wish I would have worked harder and finished school earlier.

didn't read yet, but are people really bragging about having a 2.3

I hope those females were worth it breh

Keep arguing fellas, i'm absorbing all this shyt

 

[Serious]

Not really
He just turned out to be an average student in college

If he was a special case like an athlete/minority student or had connections then a 3.3 is doable but he's just a nerdy Indian kid

@Kool G Trap

But overall though, fukk CORPORATE AMERICA , I can get in if I want, but im jus using that as a back up plan for now. That aint the place for a young black man with potential anyways, too many glass ceiling for us minorites. Im not trying to get a job at Goldman Sachs then be Gator Reloaded status in a year . There are other industries one can excel in.


than to be a suit in America and being some cac's token negro.

Thank you I can't stand all this dikkriding for Corporate America.
