[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look at earnings ten years after graduation for economics majors,

Washington & Lee &gt; Richmond &gt; Wake Forest

(But Wake Forest finance majors do much better than W&L and Richmond econ majors... no finance at W&L or Richmond)

For computer science,

W&L &gt; Wake Forest &gt; Richmond

For business / business administration

W&L &gt; Wake Forest &gt; Richmond

Very recently YCBK podcast talked about Wake Forest having &quot;rolling early decision&quot; so that you can get a decision from them as early as August and thus have time to apply ED1 elsewhere if they deny you. That would be very interesting if Wake was one of your top choices.[/quote]
Just wrong -- W&L has a Commerce school and a Finance concentration for a Business Administration major (same as Richmond and Wake). Why are you stating things as facts when you don't know.[/quote]

A "finance concentration" for a business administration major is not the same as a finance major, moron.

Finance majors at Wake Forest earn $176k ten years after graduation compared to Richmond $152k for econ majors and $107k for business administration majors, and to W&L $152k for econ majors and $107k for business administration majors.

If you want to major in finance you need a school that offers that, not some half-ass "concentration" in a lame-o business major.[/quote]

You technically can’t major in Finance at Wharton…you receive a Bachelor of Science in Economics with a concentration in Finance.

Most people call that a major.[/quote]

OK... but nobody here except you is talking about Wharton. This thread is about Wake Forest.[/quote]

Well, the PP said W&L had a “half-ass” concentration and not a major.

Just pointing out that the best undergraduate business school in the country also only offers a “half-ass” concentration and yet manages to send hundreds of kids into high paying finance    Jobs.[/quote]

Wharton is not W&L (duh) - the professors and classes are nowhere near the same - so your point is idiotic. [/quote]

Are you this dense?  PP was specifically faulting the school because it didn’t have a finance major, only a concentration.

How many times do you have to be punched in the face with the fact that a school having a major vs a concentration is irrelevant.  They are the same thing.

Guess what…Wake Forest also isn’t Wharton even with its so called finance “Major”.[/quote]
