Does anyone know why MORS-430, the Management & Organizations course we take during CIM, is also offered in the spring? I thought everyone was required to take this in the fall during CIM, with no exceptions. :?:

(The same goes for SEEK-440. Required during 2nd-year CIM, but also offered in spring.)

MORS-430 could be for 1Ys, since we don't have that option during the summer. I'm not sure about SEEK-440 since we are required to take that over the summer.

Dont forget the part-timers. There are no exception you will have to take it during CIM...only reason to take it at another time is if you fail it or are a 1Y or PT.

What is everything thinking about loans? Faced with 8.5% on gradplus, does it make sense to take out private, or at least maybe split them 50/50?

I'm planning to take the GradPLUS, but it depends how much interest rate risk you're comfortable with. Even if you get a private loan at prime, there's a decent chance that prime will recover to match the 8.5% fixed GradPLUS rate. Today prime is 3.25%. A year ago it was 5%. Two years ago it was 8.25%. While the longer it takes for the economy to recover, the more likely rates are to stay low, I'm personally not a fan of entering into a variable rate loan when rates are at historic lows.

Damn, I was just admitted off the waitlist a few days ago. I missed DAK, so I'll have to read all 38 pages of this thread to get a better understanding of things. So far, the items that I must complete ASAP are:

1) Fin Aid App (FAFSA is already complete)
2) McManus app
3) Register for KWEST trip on 5/20

Any other extracurricular activities I missed?

Congratulations!

I think the next big deadline is July 1. There is a to-do list on the Welcome page that has everything you need to prepare.

Once you pay your deposit, get your aid done, apply for housing if need be, register for KWEST; you also have to:
Buy a Laptop
Complete the Health/physical forms
and of course let us know if you are joining us in the fall.

Shameless plug leading up to KWEST Registration:

KWEST Hong Kong/Macao! Glitz, glamor, and gastronomy. That's the 3G framework for those counting.

Another McManus update, apparently they're "aiming to get the lottery done" by middle of next week. After that, if you get a room, you apparently have two weeks to send in the $300 deposit via check or wire transfer. FYI.

5. Mystery :)

While Eygpt and Morocco sound amazing, the amount of travelling involved in those 2 trips seems excessive.

i'm torn between trips that sound relaxing and chill (beaches, boats) and ones that push you a little outside the comfort zone (ziplining, rafting, etc)...i can go on the relaxing ones at any point in my life...so i may go for more adventure...either way it has to be somewhere warm
