I am currently doing a BEng in Computer Science 
at Imperial College, London, and would like to
do a Master's in economics or finance.

Is this possible in the US without some kind of
conversion course or preliminary year ?
I'm going to have a couple of introductory classes
in economics and operations analysis, but this
wouldn't be sufficient for me to start straight on
an MSc in Economics in England.

An MBA would be an option of course, but I'd rather
do a course with a strong mathematical/analytical flavor.

How do US universities feel in general about students
going into a different area in graduate school from what
they did as undergrad's ? At English universities this
seems an odd thing to do.

Hi.

I am interested in finding out about Gorman's Report or the

a list?  What kind of criteria was used in assigning the
rating?  I am mostly interested in the ranking of graduate
computer programs.  Email me and I can summarize for others
or just send it to this newsgroup -- I do read it.  :)

exchange satements, but I didn't get a whole lot of response on it (maybe 2 or

With that kind of response, it's probably not worth the effort of creating a

	Looking over various grad school bulletins, I noticed that many
schools have a "special student" or "non-marticulated" (sp?) status which
allows students to enter a university that they may not normally be admitted
to.  Most of these universities allow students to be admitted to the normal
graduate program after completing several classes with higher than a B average.
I would appreicate any comments anyone may have on the viability of this
method for getting admitted to a grad school.  Can this method be used to
enter an university which you may not normally be able to get into?  Are most
students who make the requisite grades during the "trial" period admitted to
the normal grad program without further hassle?  Any comments, opinions, etc.
appreciated...

Make sure you use the 1976 edition (19th) becuase that one does do some
discussion of independents....

The (20th) edition which came out in 1991 is essentially done by the
National Interfraternity Council in Indianapolis. It pretends that
independents do not exist and spends about 50 pages just in a list
of all of the people they were able to find in public life who were i
national social fraternities and sororities (organized by fraternity,
rather than by last name) The other stupid thing it does is within
a given year the names of the chapters are arranged alphabetically
in ENGLISH. So if the first 24 chapters of a greek all came in in the
first year the last one for that year listed would be Zeta NOT Omega.
I have written to IFC headquarters (Where you have to get the book from)
with expressing my disappointment in this edition and suggesting things that
should be returned to the way that it was done previously.

Here in Bahston, there are a number of schools that have these
traditional literary societies. In the sense that I understand it,
they are not fraternities, because they don't really have a house 
where people live, but more likely a club or building where they
throw parties and have events. At MIT, there is No. 6 Club, also
known as Delta Psi, or St. Anthony Hall. This place is a (coed) living
group, but its history and beginnings do not stem from the fraternity
concept, but from the secret society idea, such as the Masons or
the Skull and Bones (there is also a St. Anthony Hall at Yale, close
to the S+B). At Wellesley, there are Zeta Alpha, Tau Zeta Epsilon
and Phi Sigma, which are literary societies (they do have literary
events), but are in reality more like high class social clubs for 
East Coast Establishment women. Good parties, though. And of course,
upchuck, we have the Haavad final clubs, which stem from the 
(now defunct) Harvard frat system, but has veered towards more of 
a secret society kind of arrangement. Good parties, too. I am 
very interested in this thread. Any flames, misconceptions, lively 
discussion welcome.

Well, isn't that just too darn bad.  Maybe you should try saying something
interesting instead of just whining about how BOOOOORING everyone else is
being.  Let's face it, there just isn't anything in the least bit interesting
about college.  No one wants to discuss it.  Heck, if it wasn't for all the
lame newbies posting their, 'how do I find so-and-so' messages, the group
would just dry up and vanish.

Is that better?

(Oh yeah, insert smileys liberally.)

NCAA Division III schools do not offer athletic scholarships, and a 
quick run-through of schools in that division should provide more than
a few schools that have need-blind admissions.  And that's before you get
to the Ivies.

Okay, I've received several replies to my question of what your school  
intervisitation policy was.  But I've also received many questions asking me  
what an intervisitation is.  So let me clarify.

Intervisitation basically states "visit" hours.  For instance (I'm a male), so  
I can have a female in my room from 8a.m. till Midnight Sun-Thurs and from  
8a.m. till 3a.m. Fri-Sat.

Again, thanks for all of your help.  (Reply via E-Mail please)

Interesting you should say that -- that's the same thing I've always noticed.
:)  Any time you finally think you've found someone to have a relationship with,
along comes somebody else that you would've almost killed for before this new
relationship.  I think it's some kind of 'already-taken-attraction' that effects
other people when you're around them or something.  Now that you're taken, 
you're suddenly very attractive.

Maybe I just wasn't meant to understand...  :)
