I need help as well. This site won't let me post this anywhere else so can someone help me? I am currently a high school junior and am very interested in getting into finance. Specifically and hopefully Investment Banking, Private Equity, Hedge Fund or something on Wall Street. I know it sounds materialistic but I have taken numerous business, account, finance, and math courses and I love it. Unfortunately my chances of getting into a target-school aren't looking so hot as my freshmen and sophomore year of high school I did not take too seriously. After last year (my sophomore year) my GPA was 3.00. Not good at all I know, however after this year it should be up quite a bit considering I am Acing pre-calc (alg. III & trig) and also Acing my honors history course, with all other subjects in check as well. Furthermore since I am excelling this year I am taking AP Government, Honors Calculus, AP Stat, honors English, and academic Physics next year. I had the chance the take AP Literature but I feel as if it would be too much of a work load, opinions? So back to the point, I just took my SATs so I will know my general score shortly. But based off of what you know now, what schools should I begin to look at for a finance type major to try to get into what I'm interested in. I am from Pennsylvania. Also I play sports year round (soccer, basketball, tennis) & plan on joining the debate team next year. Thanks!

Sorry Wrong Forum
Big Four Advisory is a big exit for state schools. Perhaps a lateral after a couple years at a Big Four is possible into a better brand firm.
Sorry - responding to the original question :)
Haha thanks for the reply before I changed it. I didn't want to get in trouble on my very first post.
All good :) Welcome to WSO!
