I received this update to my Brandeis portal today:
"Congratulations! It is with great pleasure that I write to inform you that you have been accepted into the Brandeis International Business School (IBS) Scholars Program! Your acceptance guarantees your place in our prestigious five-year dual-degree program, enabling you to earn both your bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in international economics and finance, contingent upon completion of the program requirements…
As a Brandeis IBS Scholar, you will become an important member of our intimate, supportive and diverse community. You will also take advantage of our innovative approach designed specifically for students like you who value the opportunity to combine the study of business, economics and finance with an exceptional liberal arts education. You will gain access to top-notch faculty who are thought leaders in their disciplines as well as practitioners who bring real-world experiences to the classroom. We will provide you with advising, career resources and invitations to special events with business leaders who travel to visit us from around the globe."
I cannot find many (or any, really) statistics on this program. How selective is it? Is it as prestigious as the letter claims?
Is it worth it?
Is anybody currently in this program who would like to share his/her experience?
