Utterly amazing.

Congrats, dude! How were your profs? I've heard MIT tends to have some REALLY strict profs.

Something else that's interesting about MIT is that a lot of their grad programs don't look at GRE scores and basically consider the GRE worthless.

must have been awesome. have you picked a major yet?

go for aerospace! my cousin's friend did that and now he works with the Ferrari F1 team!

Cool man. Congrats

I've actually noticed the opposite. Probably because I'm a freshman. I actually haven't gone to class for 3 months and managed to pass all my classes.

The way the school works the first semester is that it functions on a "Pass/No Record" basis, where we are given no GPAs, simply a P for pass, or the class isn't counted against us at all. It's a wonderful system.

As for my major, I'm leaning towards Chemical Engineering with a minor in Biology and a double major in Business Administration. I'm considering consulting leading to management as a career.

a guy from a bank came to my uni and said that in the end engineering, like business, is alot about solving problems, and indeed, he was an engineer who worked as a consultant with mckinsey before joining the bank (millennium bcp).

Congrats ElTipo. You've just finished your first semester. That's awesome. How many more to go?

By the way, I've just graduated. Still a bumming jobless prick.

7 more.

That's why 40% of MIT graduates go into consulting. They're trained to be problem solvers. McKinsey is a big employer of MIT alumni.

Going into a field like consulting right after college is quite impressive, I must say. I'll probably be going into it in a few years, since I'm still building experience as a software engineer right now.
