Overcoming the Odds - booh yah!
Sequence of events of 2011-2012 year:
- Shitty grades in unrelated discipline - told on WSO that I'm fucked beyond redemption
- switch to econ and finance
- co-author a paper
- learn excel like a true monkey, DCF, etc
- harass MDs with the help of bloomberg to aid my stalking efforts
- kill all 4 interviews
- come first in class (4.0) in advanced econ (honours econ at McGill is same level as MIT quant. econ) and finance classes
- get 2 summer offers at buldge brackets
- fuck yeah!!!
On WSO, those who provided me with heaps of amazing advice and encouragement, thank you! Those who poked fun of how fucked I was - thanks for motivating me! really!
Go out there and celebrate. Congrats

More of this, less everything else.
And congrats to the OP.
Nice.
Way to work hard and make it happen. Good job man.
Damn, congrats!!
thanks guys! Appreciate the support :D
congrats!
Congrats - but saying that honors econ at McGill is equivalent to pretty much anything at MIT is insulting.
First congrats my fellow Canuck. Three questions if I may:
Congrats again and thank you. Enjoy life!!!
Did you do Masters in Finance or just undergrad in Finance?
Congrats.
Awesome. Love it. Congrats!
Very Nice.
Congrats! I'll be drinking to your success tonight!
I'm a U1 Joint Honours Economics and Finance student at McGILL.
Bitch, you ain't got a four point oh.
But Congrats!
And this gives me hope. I was a Science student at first. My "elective" GPA consisting of unrelated Science courses are about 1.3 points lower than in my Econ and Finance classes.
Oh, Canada
Out of curiosity are your offers from Canadian or US BBs?
Nice work!! congrats!
McGill: Fuck yeah!
Here is the WSO Montreal page: https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/103393663107579/

Congrats! Now you just have to keep working hard....after you party hard of course!
I'm wondering too. Did you go back for a second undergrad? and Congrats !!!

Thanks guys! I appreciate all the congrats. So stoked haha
take one shot from me !
how did you go from a 3.0 to a 4.0? Did your stud habits change?
I was in the wrong program before. Math & graphs are my thing haha, but memorizing all animals in kingdom "Animalia" is not my thing
Canada fuck yeah
