special student MIT

dear fellow monkeys,

i am an undergrad at a school in germany and i want to do a semester abroad at a top school in the US to boost my chances of eventually getting a job in the beautiful united states of america. i'm really interested in the special student program at MIT. does anyone of you have experiences with that program? do you think its worth $20-30k to go there? how competitive is admission?

thanks a lot

cheers

You're a UBS freshman PWM intern and you've copped the certified user status. Talk about WSO e-peen inflation...

hahahaa. that is ridiculous actually. how can a freshman in any way be a "certified user"?

 

Send an email from the firm account, get certified. Funny thing is it's true, look at his post history.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
