yo how bad is I-house really

Ok so I did the trick to figure out my housing assignment early and I'm in I-house. I spoke to a current student who told me it's over if I am in I-house. Like to email housing to get a change if that ever happened to me. Is it over.

On a serious note, idrc about proximity to dining halls, but I do care about gym access and I guess being able to get to class on time.

Continue Summer Internship Into School Year?

Hi guys, I have an internship at a LMM PE firm that's going pretty well, really like the guys and get along with them. I was wondering if it's beneficial or not to continue an internship throughout the school year, staying in the loop on what's happening with them and helping out where I can.

I know some people get "winternships" or some such, but I don't know if I should try to go for that or stay with what I've got .

Any advice would be appreciated.

How far will investment banking timelines be pushed up?

As a freshman, I'm worried about the acceleration of high finance timelines. I'm hearing of people having two internships on their resume before recruiting season even starts. There's also a rumor that Evercore is pushing up their superdays to September of sophomore year, which means all other banks will likely follow.

Does anyone have any anecdotes, both good and bad, about this situation?

Are STEM degrees really that much better?

I'm headed to one of Chicago/Columbia/Duke. I recently saw on a thread how people were dogging on humanities majors as being vastly less competitive, philosophy specifically.

I have never heard that it matters that much in the real world, but people in the comments were making it seem like even an econ + philosophy major would be losing out to an econ + math major every time UNLESS they went to HYPSM.

I also don't know how people do highly quantitative majors and get above the GPA filter, and if they are, at that point they are gunning for quant from my experience.

Thoughts?

Fluency in French, Spanish, and Italian since young age: fear of losing it

Hi everyone,

I hope this is the right place to post this. I have been, since a young age, a native speaker of Spanish and educated in French and Italian. As I get older, and no longer speak to my parents on a day to day basis nor keep up with my other languages, I have noticed I am losing the ability to communicate in them. I'm very busy, so I don't have time to resume consistent lessons again. I also find myself frustrated when trying to express the complicated thoughts I voice in English, since I live, study, and work in the United States and don't keep up with politics, science or economics terms in the other languages.

Another thing that has kept me lazy is that I know the pronunciation will never leave me, since I learned before the age of five, but the reason I write now is that I have noticed I'm starting to slip up a little there as well!

I'm headed to university and would appreciate any advice on how to not lose them! I know it will take effort on my part, but I need a diverse array of ideas that could inspire me on how to integrate language back into my schedule. (TL)

I ranked every Economics bachelor's program in America by 4-year median earnings using the latest federal IRS data

Note that schools with an undergraduate business school or finance major might be lower ranked because students who pursue high paying finance jobs are not majoring in Economics.

Top 20 (n=sample size):

  1. Williams — $166,678 (n=54)
  2. Duke — $161,149 (n=116)
  3. Princeton — $160,763 (n=48)
  4. University of Chicago — $159,578 (n=155)
  5. Harvard — $155,592 (n=94)
  6. Dartmouth — $152,929 (n=104)
  7. Claremont McKenna — $146,524 (n=37)
  8. Carnegie Mellon — $144,886 (n=46)
  9. Yale — $142,936 (n=72)
  10. Amherst — $141,730 (n=32)
  11. Vanderbilt — $140,337 (n=109)
  12. Cornell — $137,935 (n=126)
  13. Columbia — $137,710 (n=150)
  14. UC Berkeley — $135,050 (n=197)
  15. Hamilton — $130,633 (n=60)
  16. UPenn (CAS, not Wharton) — $129,985 (n=79)
  17. Rice — $129,575 (n=51)
  18. Colgate — $128,887 (n=50)
  19. Johns Hopkins — $128,882 (n=60)
  20. Swarthmore — $128,051 (n=46)

Why do you think there is such a disparity within the top 1% of undergraduate colleges? I find it surprising that Duke or UChicago grads make ~$20,000 more than Columbia grads four years into their career.

I also find it interesting that LACs, which are usually not mentioned on this sub, are very represented (with Williams at the top).

Feel free to share your thoughts.
