Help bridge the gap between Academia and the profession
Hi all,
I am a student at Texas Tech and will be graduating in a few weeks. Recently we had a "Finance Think Tank" to try and bring prestige to the University and increase the quality of students here. We see many students recruited from competing schools like UT and A&M. I was wondering if you could provide any insight as were are attempting to revamp the entire Finance program here.
It's the culture.
Some schools will have cut-throat types (NYU Stern, etc). They have the best professors, best students, and the best students want the best materials.
From my nontarget school, there are 1/4 of people that take the same intro equity or stock classes 2-3 times and still can't get what's going on. the professors had to water down things, otherwise the pass rate would look pathetic. I should have transferred but I had too many credits to lose.
Don't try too hard man to change your program, just get to a better school and you'll see those differences
Thanks Shuang!
I have to agree with you, I transferred in as a junior and never really felt that college was that difficult. I should have just moved to a better school. Furthermore, you are completely right, we don't have the "finance culture" and that is reflected in the high fail rate of our introductory finance class.
