Sheetrockero Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 This is hilarious. I feel the same way with lots of acronyms of schools depending on where you are. Example: on TGC, someone is asking if "USC" interviews meant University of Southern California or University of South Carolina. Also, OSU = Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, etc... The OSU and USC one's kill me. I almost applied to both USC's but decided against them and UO trounced one OSU, but lost the national championship to a different OSU. I like how University of Colorado goes by "CU" in order to avoid being a "UC" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kush82 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Has anyone heard from Moore or Eller. There are a few postings about University of South Carolina but not sure whether it was Moore of Marshall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how University of Colorado goes by "CU" in order to avoid being a "UC" I'm a PAC-12 person and a huge football fan and even I had to think about what you were saying here :) It's that whole conference that does that. Colorado is part of the PAC-12. Which geographically makes no kind of sense to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall is Southern California Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheetrockero Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Has anyone heard from Moore or Eller.

One random similarity is that you can grow loquats in both locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheetrockero Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Or, you know, you could just call us The champs. You have to keep rubbing it in, don't you? One of my customers lost a bet against his company's Columbus, OH branch. Now he has to display a custom made Ohio State ceiling tile in his showroom all year. I'm pretty sure that's going to affect sales. :doh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryingfor2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 After much speculation... Sorry, but I always get confused. UMD is Maryland or Minnesota Duluth? No offense but I would be very surprised if UMD turns out abbreviated for Minnesota Duluth. And thanks all the bros/sis for your congratulations. Best of luck to everyone! And if somebody end-up landing at INSEAD, I would love to sit down with you for some French dining in Paris. :) and diligent research... I googled "UMD". The first results were University of Maryland (I did my MBA there, so that's where my mind goes when I see UMD), but halfway down the page it had results for University of Minnesota, Duluth. UMN Duluth refers to itself as "UMD" on the website, but their (unfortunate) web address is www. d.umn. edu commentary about confusing abbreviations ... This is hilarious. I feel the same way with lots of acronyms of schools depending on where you are. Example: on TGC, someone is asking if "USC" interviews meant University of Southern California or University of South Carolina. Also, OSU = Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, etc... You forgot my favorite 'UM'. Miami? Minnesota? Michigan? There is also UT. Texas? Tennessee? the obligatory transition to football... The OSU and USC one's kill me. I almost applied to both USC's but decided against them and UO trounced one OSU, but lost the national championship to a different OSU. I like how University of Colorado goes by "CU" in order to avoid being a "UC" and, perhaps, a solution... Then from now on Ohio state should be TOSU? It's Maryland.

Doctorate Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I thought it might be useful to make a compiled list of schools that we know have been active for Marketing to date (based on posts here and on GC). Here is what I have come up with: -Arizona -Cornell -ESSEC Paris -Florida State -Harvard -HEC Paris -Indiana -INSEAD -Kentucky -London Business School -Massachusetts Amherst -Maryland -Memphis -Michigan -Minnesota -MIT -Northwestern -Penn State -Rochester -South Carolina -Stanford -Texas A&M -UT Austin -Wharton -Yale If there are any I have missed, feel free to chime in.
