I figured that the title would be luring to many of you. I'm 18 years old and was recently diagnosed with a form of cancer. It's treatable by taking a pill a day everyday for the rest of my life and has a 5 year survival rate of 90%. Will this stop me from ever working on Wall St or entering IB , PE...
Will Lacrosse Ever Go Mainstream?
Like many in the City, I was raised around the game of lacrosse, playing from Kindergarten through college, and Memorial Day weekend has always meant two things to me, the beach and the NCAA lacrosse championships. (Needless to say my view on lacrosse is thus more than slightly biased.)

Looking at this forum here: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/duke-v-northwestern-v-cornell The last two posters as I'm typing this ("particlesandmodels" & "Dictator2013") were accounts created in the past hour and both advocate Duke as the school of choice. The "50 cent army", for those who...

Weekend Wars: Finance vs. Engineering
A question we often hear posed on Wall Street Oasis is what should I major in? Or some derivation, thereof.

Sports Rivalry and overall Dook sh*^ty-ness
Tonight the #5 Blue Devils take on #21 Tar-heels. For the past few years this has been the ultimate series in college sports. The winner of the series has gone on to win the national championship for the past 2 seasons (sorry big east). This has me wondering what is the best rivalry in sports...
UChicago for ibanking
How does UChicago (undergrad, economics major) compare with schools such as Duke and Cornell for job placement on the Street? I'm a high school senior hoping to get into HYP, but I don't think it's likely. However, I was accepted to UChicago and have a relatively decent shot at Cornell/Duke. So...
Why is McKinsey's Sophomore Diversity Leaders Internship only open to students at Harvard, Yale, Penn and Duke?
http://www.mckinsey.com/Careers/Apply/University_… This restriction seems kind of random. Does anyone know if they are strict about it or have plans to apply anyway if not from one of the aforementioned schools? Also, does McK offer any other networking opportunities outside of formal recruiting?
UMich Ross, Cornell AEM, Duke Trinity or Penn CAS for IBD

Duke vs Queen's Commerce
Advice on where to go? Cost is a minimal factor, although I did win a major Chancellor's scholarship at QC. Duke unfortunately releases minimal statistics.
