Transfer

I wonder if it is worth making the effort to transfer to school like Middlebury/Vanderbilt/Rice/Washu from UCLA for finance recruiting. Cost is not an issue and I just feel the atmosphere at UCLA is not for me. Thanks!

Can’t wait to see how much shit I get for this. I’m just fucking pissed that even going to schools as prestigious as UCLA is not enough these days.

UCLA is a university people dream and work to get to for a long time, I just think it’s ridiculous that someone as smart as you probably are in the first place, should have to consider transferring from there just to get into IB.

It’s nothing your doing wrong, it’s just that if it is true that UCLA does not help you land your dream job, there’s something really fucked up with the system.
