<p>yeah, banking is not for everyone, hope i don't feel the same after my internship</p>
<p>Well better to find out sooner than later. :) My moment of clarity came while scrolling through a monstrously huge mutual fund database to put together a client presentation. Two questions entered my head. Could I do this for the rest of my life? Yes. Do I want to? God no. :p</p>
<p>I moved on to a research assistantship at Fuqua, which turns out to be a job I actually enjoy (gasp!). So right now the plan is to get a PhD in Strategy and become a professor/consultant, like my father. Of course I won't make as much money as I would as a i-banker, but eh, I could always just marry one instead. Stern or Duke-educated would be fine - I won't discriminate. ;)</p>
<p>In any case, good luck with your internship, I hope it goes well.</p>

<p>Okay, this I must object to. Do you really want a New York husband? Go with a Southern boy. :D</p>
<p>(If I'm seriously mistaken about your gender, my apologies!)</p>
<p>But a New York boy would probably be more forgiving when it comes to my <em>ahem</em> lack of culinary skill. How many Southern boys want a girl who can't cook? :p</p>
<p>Then again, I'll settle for anything to avoid the arranged marriage my mother threatens me with if I'm not engaged by 23. Even a Brit Lit major.*</p>
<p>*No offense to those, of course. I just have a feeling I'd frustrate them with my sheer inability to ever find a deeper meaning in literature. ;)</p>
<p>Oh, but in the South, eating out is so much more affordable!</p>
<p>And my mother seems to find arranged marriage a fairly attractive option, too...</p>
<p>so general consensus.... between the 2 schools just find oe thstss the better fit?</p>
<p>Absolutely. Choose the place that you will be the happiest at - good luck with your decision - I take you have less than 24 hours.</p>
<p>haha ya i think i have settled on duke..... although stern is a great business school and would prob. provide more opportunities.... I want to experience the college campus experience and know i will only have one opportunity in my life time to do that... the fact that duke does get recruited from (even if not as much as stern) i still will have an opportunity to work in the city in the summers, or after graduation....</p>
<p>Congratulations, welcome to the Duke University - the best days of your life are just around the corner.</p>
<p>Yes, congrats. :) We'll see ya on campus come August.</p>

It'll take careful planning to fit an econ minor and MMS in (only two courses can count towards both) but either one will be a great boost when it's time to job-hunt.

<p>It shouldn't be too bad if I already have credit for 7 courses, should it? (I'll be in Pratt)</p>
