That's tied with UGA and VT and FSU.


WAS tied

Stanford is the only program listed that has won a lower % games over this time period than GTU.

If he really wanted UGA or UA he would be there by now IMO.


Same point applies to ND and GTU.

We want a full weekend with him. Does that really not make sense to you?

If anyone actually thinks this kid is going to GT they are crazy.

If D-Rob had 30 more lbs. on him I think he would project best at RB, he has a little Reggie Bush in him. He is pretty raw at WR and needs to get stronger but the sky is the limit for the young man, if he does not get his required test score my hunch is he will end up in S. Bend. His brother only wants the best for him but I still feel if D-Rob were allowed to make his own decision he would end up at UGA. With BBall finally over I assume he will take his OV to Athens this weekend and I hope his bro and mother make the trip as well.

If Robertson was allowed to make his own decision he would have never decommitted from Alabama FWIW.

Possibly but most of his friends that he has made through the process are in Athens along with Smart and Schumann.

I've written the kid off as far as coming to athens is concerned. I hope he excels at ND.

This is completely false and not even remotely close. I was very close to a ton of folks at GT and not a single one came close to making $100k right of college. In fact pretty much no one anywhere is lucky enough to make $100k the first job out of school. Maybe in 5 years or so, but not the very first one.

On here:

GT is $62k for 0-5 years out of school
UGA is $47k

Robertson wants to go to Stanford, but will likely settle for Notre Dame or one of the Georgia schools.

Accurate?

Only UGA students I know pulling 6 figures straight out of college are the Business-Risk Management students that were crazy intelligent enough to also finish the first couple of Actuary exams. And that is like 1% of the student population and because actuaries are in very high demand right now.

I think it's more like Stanford has consistently been the healthy medium between Robertson, his brother, and his mom. Next best guess would be Notre Dame (though there have been some conflicting claims of them moving on or Robertson not liking them as much) followed by Tech (brother likes them for academics), UGA (D-Rob has an established relationship with the players and some of the coaches), or Bama (same as with UGA and was once committed there though seemingly hampered by academic reputation)

Actuaries don't come from the risk management program. I would know, I'm an actuary

Technically actuaries don't come from anywhere in particular (not at UGA, anyway). They're usually Accounting, Risk Management, or Stat majors that also complete the Actuarial Science Certificate at UGA.

May be the case at Auburn, but at UGA, I know of at least 3 personally that went through the Risk Management program and are currently actuarial consultants. I took and passed the first 2 exams but ended up going another route (just was told I should take them due to my statistics aptitude).

A good number of actuaries don't go through any specific program at the major consulting houses, rather they've simply passed at least the first tests and have some kind of business degree and have shown a quantitative aptitude. This is enough to get started down the "Actuarial Analyst" track at most major consulting houses.
quote:

Qualifications
We look for applicants who:
Have outstanding quantitative and analytical skills;
Have passed at least one actuarial exam;
Have strong written and verbal communication skills;
Enjoy working on complex, mathematically-oriented projects;
Like working in a team environment;
Graduate December 2015 – June 2016; and
Have a 3.0 GPA or higher.

Requirements above for Aon Hewitt's incoming analyst "student" program for recent grads.

Pretty much how most people think.

(Harvard, not one of the Georgia schools, was my safety school.)
