FRO 2012: BWA

I figured what better way to sum up my experience thus far than by making my own meme. This sums up my experience at Baruch VERY well. I’ll just share my college decision story to help explain this for you. I wanted to go to a school that was very creative and gave me a lot of options while still having that university feel and was in Manhattan. Fordham, Lincoln center campus, was the perfect school, and I luckily got in. It was way too expensive though, so I decided on Hunter, thinking it was more of a ‘liberal’ CUNY school. However I saw that they didn’t have photography or photojournalism (my intended major) while Baruch did. The only problem was that I was already enrolled in Hunter and I had never even applied to Baruch. So one day I walked into Baruch and told them my story, and they literally handed me an acceptance letter without having my transcript, SAT scores, ACT scores, recommendations or anything.
So that generosity on Baruch’s part is what caused this meme. Once I started school I started telling my story to others. One Hunter student told me that he didn’t get accepted to Baruch, and his SAT scores were much higher than mine, and he wanted to be an accountant, whereas I don’t even want to study business here. Another Hunter student told me he got into Baruch but they unaccepted him because he started to get lazy his senior year of high school. A current Baruch student even told me she thought she wouldn’t have gotten in if it weren’t for a connection she had. I started to feel that I was some guy who got in without doing any work, surrounded by people who tried really hard to make it to Baruch. So this meme portrays my idea that some random, high up, intense Baruch group like  Alpha Kappa Psi or Women in Business are gonna come for me.
