<p>CC, thanks..</p>
<p>Can someone start their I banking career at the age of 30? jus being curious..</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The question is why would you <em>want</em> to. Do you, like, know what i-banking is? Do you know that i-banking is not synonymous with “a job in the finance industry”?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>To be successful anywhere, you only have to be smarter / harder working / luckier / savvier / etc. than the next guy. You’re not going to have to work your @ss off as much if you take a job where the average person works 45 hr weeks.</p>
<p>Columbia2002, very true, and imagine to be successful in IBanking, where everyone works 80 hours a week, what a nightmare</p>
<p>To be honest.. I dunno much about I-banking.. all i know is they work their A** off for 10 years and retire after that with millions in their bank accounts? Am I right.. Correct me if I’m not..
And not everyone can be successful.. most give up before they have the chance to see the zeros in their accounts?
So can we start at the age of 30?</p>
<p>Do SEAS and CC science departments work together? For example can CC students get research experience at SEAS?..</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There’s no such thing as a “CC science department.” The departments/profs of bio, chem, physics, math, etc. are all in the faculty of arts & sciences. Many profs have joint appointments on chemistry and chemical engineering … or in biomedical engineering and at the medical school … or physics and applied physics. And students do research in whatever they’re interested in.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Only a 22 year old is stupid enough to work that many hours for the relatively small pay, incredibly poor job security, and unstimulating work quality. They wouldn’t hire a 30 year old for a 22 year old’s position because you probably wouldn’t put up with the crap and work as hard as they want you to.</p>
<p>CO2, thanks. Well when I said ‘‘science department’’ I meant math, physics chem.. which was kinda obvious</p>
<p>3 people from Columbia got into Harvard Medical School HST M.D program, which admits 30 people per year. </p>
<p>2 of them are SEAS Engineering Majors… 1 from Biochemistry Major ( CC, or GS or GSAS )</p>
<p>Apparently this thread is still alive, a testament to this board’s collective feelings of inadequacy. Let us peacefully murder this College and SEAS division.</p>
<p>I want you to imagine a peach-skinned laughing baby, with curly blonde hair. She is running through a field of laughing lettuces. She turns her head upwards to the sun and feels its warmth spread all over her. She imagines this sun as a golden light enveloping the entirety of her body. She then is freed of all College and SEAS competitive angst. If this imaginary baby can do it, so can you! What, are you going to be shown up by an <em>imaginary</em> baby? Reach down! Isn’t there anything down there! Let’s go people!</p>
<p>^musil that was great, lol.</p>
<p>It’s not that SEAS students are brighter, as there are many different types of intellect that students posses. It’s that SEAS students education is more relevant to the qualifications required for med schools. It just seems to me as though an Engineer would grasp medical concepts quicker, due to their backgrounds in sciences and mathematics.</p>
<p>I’m sorry but that’s incorrect. For example, there are three introductory physics classes people at Columbia take. Physics 1200, which I’ve seen referred to as “Pre-Med Physics,” Physics 1400 which is almost entirely SEAS students, although there are a few CC’ers in there every year, and Physics 1600 which is almost entirely SEAS students, with even less CC students than 1400. You can still be pre-med if you take 1400, which i think is required for SEAS, but SEAS requires either 1 or 2 semesters 1400, while to learn what you need to know for the MCATs you need to take 1400 for three semesters. At least that’s what one of the heads of the Physics Department told me.</p>
<p>And I believe it’s actually an inferiority complex that SEAS has, since SEAS students try to prove their “superiority” to CC students quite more than the reverse.</p>
<p>^^ you forgot two physics sections which are much smaller</p>
<p>1000 level “physics for poets” is a complete joke course. and 2800 physics which is ****ing ridiculous.</p>
<p>by brighter, we’re talking about logical thinking ability. i’m not sure what you mean by different types of intellect (gardner’s theory?) but the SEAS education does not cater to med schools.</p>
<p>“And I believe it’s actually an inferiority complex that SEAS has, since SEAS students try to prove their “superiority” to CC students quite more than the reverse.”</p>
<p>dude, for the Last F***en time, no such complex exists, seas students don’t think they’re inferior or superior or anything, seas and cc offer different educations and while there’s some overlap in where grads aspire to end up, no sentiment of school competition exists. student joke with one another and put the other schools down for the fun of it, but when it comes to making friends, privilidges, social and intellectual respect, housing, clubs or classes there’s no distinction in treatment, whether from administrators, students or professors. Seas and CC are pretty proud of their respective schools (except the ones who transfer) and get along just fine, the difference is simply a matter of academic preference and being stronger in different fields. I’m with musil’s baby on the previous page :D.</p>
<p>i don’t know if med schools actually prefer one over the other, maybe there’s a columbia alum in med school who could tell you.</p>
<p>oh, thank you. but, alas, this thing still won’t die. let’s kill it together. it’ll be fun.</p>
