<p>Hey!! If anyone has any questions about SMG or Freshman year in general, feel free to message me.</p>
<p>I got accepted to SMG. I've been reading that its a lot more work than CAS. Do you know if this is true?</p>
<p>yea. It is for the most part a lot more work than CAS minus maybe the pre med kids. The work for the most part is not too difficult, but some of the concepts are very different. The thing that makes SMG a lot more work is the team meetings that you will have throughout the year before your presentations. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions</p>
<p>I suggest you look at the SMG website and this</a> page about the curriculum.</p>
<p>i'm a freshman in smg too and it is a ton of work. smg kids, engineering kids, and the pre-med kids have the toughest curriculum. cas kids have 15 hours of classes a week and smg students have 21. and the one smg course is 10 hours a week and then you have team meetings on top of that. i like smg though. i definitely feel like i've learned so much.</p>
<p>Just wait until you go through Core...</p>
<p>Actually, just wait until you enter the workforce...</p>
<p>S's roommate is a sophomore in SMG and I think he would agree with everything written above. It's intense.</p>
<p>I'm going to be applying to BU, but I can't decide whether I should do CAS and be an economics major, or do SMG with a concentration in finance. Any advice? I'm reluctant to apply to SMG because I'm not 100% sure that I want to do business yet. Also I want to take a few language courses and the SMG curriculum doesn't seem like it has room for that.</p>
<p>whats smg?</p>
<p>SMG is the School of Management. I am currently persuing a Spanish minor. The way I am doing that is through getting other credits filled with AP credits. You would always be able to take a class at community college over the summer if needed. Also, its prob a lot easier once here to switch from SMG to CAS than the other way around. The curriculum can be tight, but I think it it necessary so far.</p>
<p>Think of SMG as front-loading their curriculum while other colleges back-load. COM, for example, has you do your CAS stuff mostly before junior year - and then you heavily concentrate - while SMG has you do most in junior and senior year. It's all in the link above.</p>
