Incoming Freshman at Auburn looking for advice
Hi y’all, I’m going to be an incoming freshman at Auburn in the fall and was wondering what advice you might give to someone at this point in their life, whether or not it’s specific to Auburn. I also would like to note that I’m aware Auburn is in no way a target or semi-target and that the road to IB is long and difficult from anywhere, but especially from here. To also complicate things, I’m going to be a student athlete at Auburn so for now summer internships are next to impossible. I’m a hard worker who is willing to do what is necessary to try and make my dreams into reality for the future. Anyways I just wanted some advice/ideas from yall on what I could do to help myself out in the future! Thanks!
Been on the street for a little over a year and have not once met a kid from Auburn
Transfer, no one respects an Auburn degree. Good luck.
Sounds like I’m cooked then
just transfer man, you're still in it. Keep your head up and have a great freshmen year and then dip. Good luck man.
Transfer
You absolutely need to transfer. There is bluntly no chance of getting into any high finance role from auburn. The name is not unknown, it is widely known and not respected. Have a good freshman year and gtfo of that place. Good luck man. Some transfer friendly schools to look into are UVA, Emory, NYU CAS & Vanderbilt
You don’t need to transfer. Network your ass off and be sharp. Anything is possible, plus you’ll have more fun and have a high GPA due to easier classes. Going to be fun getting a job in IB at an SEC school while kids at Wharton strike out. War damn Eagle.
edit: lol give me monkey shit all you want, the Auburn alumni network isn’t as bad as you’d think- look at LinkedIn.
Dude we aren’t talking about UGA here. We’re talking about fucking auburn
Look at the alumni on linkedin. Not as bad as you’d think
Consider your options, and make off that choice. Build a list of target, and semi target schools you will have a good time at too. Enjoy college as well don’t worry too hard about it. Keep ur grades up as well
Transfer to the best school you can. If you truly want to break into this business (and the benefits of doing so are real), then upgrading your school is a must.
People are heavily discounting the student athlete aspect here - if you are going to be playing football or basketball at Auburn you will likely have access to a network of sponsors that would gladly guide you along this path. If you are playing pretty much any other sport, transfer!
Went to another SEC school. While recruiting, I saw maybe 1 or 2 Auburn alum. You have a lot of time before recruiting so I would build your resume right now and get a high GPA next year to transfer.
The only SEC schools where you have a truly good shot at recruiting are Vandy (by far), Georgia, and UF.
All depends on what sport you are playing
Everyone is saying to transfer, and I 99% agree with that. But I’ve seen multiple Auburn students at MM (Midwest not NYC) superdays
Met a guy at Stephens who was an Auburn grad, but nobody else. Definitely better off transferring. There's a lot of small, NE liberal arts schools where athletes place well into finance, and since you're D1 in the SEC, I'd be surprised if you couldn't transfer
