<p>hey just accepted to the school of management at BU…i am extremely happy b/c they gave me around 36,000 in need-based grants…and the other 7 k in loans and work study…i was just wondering how people in the school of management are and really anything else about BU in general</p>
<p>Wanna hear from kids that already attend…</p>
<p>SMG students preferred, but any can speak</p>
<p>im a Liberal atheist male from the midwest…will i have fun at BU??</p>
<p>im from midwest too. ~</p>
<p>hey! i got into bu smg too. where do you find out about scholarships and stuff liek that? also, did you send in the fafsa and profile thing?</p>
<p>umm they should tell ya in the "financial decision" part</p>
<p>I got into SMG and I'm interested in hearing what current students have to say as well.</p>
<p>in the financial decision part they are telling me that i sent in fafsa, but not profile. if i send in the profile, will they tell me then?</p>

<p>Someone has created a BU 10 community also.</p>
<p>When you walk by the SMG Gov't office, you'll see a sign that says, "Work Hard Play Hard." I think that sign sums up the feel of the school to a "t."</p>
<p>You will work your ass off from the day you step foot into SMG (for the most part) and the faculty will up the ante every semester, right up until the end of the first semester of your junior year (which is when you will most likely take CORE). But, SMG kids tend to party hard and have a lot of fun. It's also very diverse school--in terms of personalities, races, religions and work styles. </p>
<p>I'll be glad to answer specific questions, but I'll end here, as I'm sure everyone here is tired of reading about my take on SMG.</p>
<p>ryanbis, I have a question. What kind of classes do you take during your freshman year at SMG?</p>
<p>It depends a bit on your standing (in terms of AP classes and such), but the standard classes are:</p>
<p>1st Semester:
SM121-Management as a System
EC101-Microecon
WR100-Writing
Elective (Math, Science, etc.)</p>
<p>2nd Semester:
SM122-Man as a System II
EC102-Macro
Elective
Elective</p>
<p>The only course in SMG you take your freshman year is the SM121/2 sequence, which is more than enough for most. Both are 6 credit classes. It's SMG's version of intro business. It can be a bit intense for some--you'll give a presentation almost every week, have regular team assignments, two lectures a week, two discussions a week and a professional skills lab.</p>
<p>does anyone know how many applicants there are for the school of management?</p>
<p>ryanbis, other than the writing class, do freshmen have to take English? And also, can you take whatever elective you want or do you have to follow a liberal arts curriculum?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you don't have AP credit, then you are going to have to take an English course. You don't necessarily have to take it freshman year.</p>
<p>This link should be of help:</p>
<p>You have to take a course in each of the four broad categories; however, the exact course you take is up to you (for the most part--they'll give you detailed information at registration time as to what specific courses will fulfill each requirement).</p>
<p>In total, about half of your courses will be liberal arts courses.</p>
