Should I join the Academy of Finance and sacrifice a good GPA for experience or forget aboutit and work onGPA?
Lilac Green asked:
Ok, so there is this special program called the Academy of Finance at my school. To get in, I have to take a bunch of regular 4.0 business electives, but if I do take the courses, I get a summer internship to a prestigious company and Co-Op in my senior year. However, it will lower my GPA significantly and my chances of becoming valedictorian or saluatorian will be ruined.But, there is a cool summer internship that goes with it and that experience is something unique to put on a resume. Or, should I forget about the Academy of Finance and just take a few business electives here and there?

Yes you should Iam currently enrolled in the Academy of Finance and there are so many opportunities. I gt to work at a job that payed me 8 dollars a hour and I did nothing whatsoeever. I actually coulda have gotten payed 12 or 13 but I was being lazy ofcourse these amounts all depend on how well ur AOF coordinator is connected. This is my senior year now and Iam happy as ever that I made this decision. The courses arent to difficult so far the hardest for me was College Accounting which isn’t even that hard IMO. Just make sure u get a buddy to practice with and youll be A okay.
