<p>Well, the entire experience at Mays more or less. I have alot of AP credits going in as a freshman, but alot of the “required” classes were finished with dual credit and the APs. I think I only need to take a psychology courses, 1 science, and 1 math. My English, history and 1 part of math is already done.</p>
<p>I should be able to go ahead and take finance courses immediately though right? What else will I be able to do?</p>
<p>My gf is in Mays right now, she was valedictorian at the same high school I attended. Ummm. if you have AP credit for Cal, you might be done with both Business Maths to be honest. I took AP Cal in high school and figured this out just a month ago. Lol…She seems pretty happy about coming here though, people are pretty friendly. In my opinion, the kids in Mays don’t completely live up to the stereotypes of TAMU. She hates her Business 205 class, she has constantly reschedule with her group mates and there is quite a bit of work.</p>
<p>She is in the Hispanic Business group and she met a lot of friends there, I’m not sure if that applies to you. Lol…I know if you are a Finance major, there is a intro to Finance course your sophmore year. I heard that class was pretty good for an intro. Plus, there is your Accounting classes unless you took those with dual credit. Wrote a lot.</p>
<p>Also, I’ve been hearing that the school is extremely “conservative.”</p>
<p>I’m extremely worried about this statement. Entrepreneurship, which is something I’ve always been interested in, is EXTREMELY “liberal” if you will. Its really taking a step into the unknown and unexplored. I’m not sure how business majors at TAMU will react to that, since I’ve heard that most of them have the mindset to get straight A’s, get a good paying job until your 65, retire. </p>
<p>UT Austin apparently is the polar opposite, and a much better fit for me. I just didn’t apply because I didn’t have auto-admission.</p>
<p>U Houston probably has the best entrepreneurshi[ program in Texas.</p>
<p>Yeah, but the thing about entrepreneurship is that its not something you can LEARN. Many of the most successful entrepreneurs today were accidental. Some of them just found a pet peeve that they hated, formed a solution, saw the business opportunity (when other people started asking them about it), and it took off.</p>
<p>It takes passion, tons of sweat equity, and perseverance. Something a textbook will NOT award you.</p>
<p>I’m more focused on how the community at Mays will respect somebody like that. I’ve heard many people just want to be investment bankers and day traders and just that… and will discourage an idea that might seem “far fetched” at that moment.</p>
<p>Jack 93W rejection is what it is… rejection. You had have high expectations - you get rejection. There is no shame in that. Where your same lies is in tact and your arrogant attitude. You’ve been rejected by the best - now you have to settle - for someone elses dream. Get over yourself.
Most of the students going into Mays are going in almost a sophomore. You will be no diffferent or any more special. Students accepted to Mays took all Pre-AP Courses since 6th grade, loading up with AP courses Junior and Senior year, doing volunteering, leading extracurricular clubs, and everything. That’s how they got in. Congratulations, you will definantly be amongst your peers.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, it’s not. And for you to say this is extremely close-minded and idiotic. Conservatism is not about playing it safe, as you think it might be.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It appears you like to blurt opinions out and claim them as factual. Did todays most successful entrepreneurs have some “luck” along the way? Sure. Was there success accidental? Most commonly, by no means. In fact, study some of history’s most successful entrepreneurs and you will see a common trend: their success was not accidental. Visionary ideas and groundbreaking practices are not an accident, they are a product of the individual/group.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sounds like you got it all figured out! So why worry about being rejected by a college? Go invent the next Facebook! Oh wait, that idea was inspired by a college student wanting to connect to others.</p>
<p>Whoooooo just got accepted to Notre Dame! Please mods, close this thread whenever possible. Thanks!

<p>Good. You don’t give Mays’ students enough credit. I turned down arguably the 2nd best bschool in the country (much better than Mendoza) to come here. i know a kid here who turned down UT’s Business Honors to come here. The top 1-2% at Mays are just as smart as the top 1-2% at other schools.</p>
<p>Just curious, school did you turn down? Wharton?</p>
<p>And to the above poster, since I don’t even want to waste my time explaining my reasoning.</p>
