    I may not always agree with CMM, but he's spot on here. I've always told people that Miami is what you make of it. If someone goes to Miami, and is a mopey motherfvcker who thinks that his "UM degree" isn't worth much, that person will become a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure. But I could...

    Ha! Tons of money available at UM. Student Government president gets full-tuition-remission. Editor-in-Chief of the Miami Hurricane newspaper. Ibis Yearbook Editor-in-Chief. I could list a number of other positions (grad school stuff as well) that give tuition money. Resident Assistants in...

    One thing that I will add, regarding the value of the undergrad business degree... I cannot speak for every MBA program, but UM has a 2-track MBA program. If you do NOT have a business degree, and MBA will require 60 credits. However, when I did my MBA at UM (having been an undergrad business...

These days, kids admitted to Harvard/Yale seem to fall heavily into one of two categories, either a "legacy" or a kid with insane qualifications who can get into every other school in the country anyhow. There are plenty of other kids outside of those...

    Yes, and I mentioned Harvard/Yale as just reputational names, not to say that they have undergrad B-schools. They only offer the MBA. Harvard/Yale are unique because you just have to say that you went there, rarely does anyone ask you your specific major (as if Harvard/Yale have any jock...

    Thank you, sir. I love my alma mater. I can list the names of many UM B-School grads who have done big things. I can name 4 classmates from undergrad who are CEOs (one is a former roommate of mine), and a 5th guy that is an MBA alum (and many on this board know him, he is the CEO of a...

    I have my undergrad and MBA from the UM B-School. Here's the reality. The degree is fine. It's not Harvard/Yale, but not many are. There are plenty of internship opportunities in Miami when your son would be in school, just due to the sheer size of the South Florida business community, and...
