<p>Would an economics degree from William and Mary be respected on Wall Street? Would this degree open doors in the future?</p>
<p>yes and yes but you have to knock on the door repeatedly and kick it down if need be. That will happen no matter if your diploma says Harvard or Community College. That is just the facts of the real world. Fortunately W&M will prepare to to be a door kicker extraordinairre.</p>
<p>no. It’s W&M. you probably will have to network your ass off</p>
<p>Well, W&M is the best school I got into according to USNEWS. I was waitlisted from UVA on Thursday. So I have three options. I can go to W&M get and my degree in economics. I can go to W&M for two years and then transfer to UVA and get my degree in economics. Or I can go to community college two years and then transfer to UVA. What would you do? Also, is there any disadvantages to going to a community college for two years and then transferring? Will employers know if I went to a community college? Is this looked down upon?</p>
<p>i’m just saying, unless you go to ivies or the other top schools like duke, you probably would have to network your ass off in this economy anyway…and I am on the same boat at michigan</p>
<p>William and Mary’s name may not be as well known as UVA to some, but I would say as long as your financial situation would work with W&M, go for it. I would say W&M is just as strong as UVA, they are ranked well in Businessweek’s rankings for the best undergrad business schools if this is what you’re interested in pursuing.</p>
