Hey :D

Introduction:

High school student in a New York suburb (ok, northern NJ), aspiring to major in finance, likely to become an investment banker.

Any advice? Any myth busters? I know investment banking is one of those careers that seems glamorous but is really filled with sleep deprivation and PowerPoint modifications :P

Also, I've heard that if you don't get into an Ivy League or other high-ranked school, your shot at breaking into the "elite" investment banking industry decreases. Is that true?

Thanks,

AssassinKhajit
