West Coast School

I am currently looking at school in the west coast and down south (USC,UCLA, UCal, UNC,etc) and wondering if there opportunities in these areas. Mainly looking to go into IB and then HF and luckily straight into HF.

 

Can only speak to IB in CA. USC is a target school for all LA banks and also most SF banks. Berkeley is core for Silicon Valley/SF banks but harder to break into LA. UCLA is a target school for a small minority of LA banks, mostly because it only offers a Business/Econ degree that is not really finance.

Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.
 

You want HF out of undergrad, Stanford is what's gonna cut it. All the others won't come close to HF recruiting, unless you have a ton of luck and can put your foot in the door yourself. UCLA, USC, UCB (don't ever call it UCal please) are good for SF and LA as said above. Also CMC is not bad but it's a weird networking/recruiting situation down there
