Was told: No life for months. Studying 30+ hours a week. Some weren’t working so they had nothing else to do. The ones I know regretted wasting the time. At the end of the day, people only care if you pass, not what score you got

You passed, that’s all that matters

Who cares they’re only just as much a cpa as someone who got 75s

Idk if they're savants or what but there's really no point in trying to achieve that (unless you want to, in which case good for you.) Those in the 300 club & Elijah Watt scholars are both CPAs & you don't know who's an Elijah Watt scholar unless they tell you or they look at your resume.

There is some cash amount but if you are really good and not spend too much hours and get the score. So find the balance of cost benefit like what audit require lol 😂

I know quite a few. They were all able to focus only on studying, lived with parents or someone to fully support them, and didn't have to juggle other responsibilities.

It's not a big deal if you can't do it. Nobody cares about your score.

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.

Republicans... in hindsight, do you think it was a political miscalculation to have Pence on the ticket?

Thoughts?
