Kinda Sorta Screwed but Maybe Not
Ok, so these past few days have really made me think how unlucky I could be. So here's my story. Currently I go to Univ. of Georgia, not target at all I know. But I've put in transfer applications to Indiana, and a couple of other schools in that tier range. With the latest news I'm rethinking if I should even transfer. I know Kelley is miles above UGA, but with the banks going down hard and quick, I'm wondering if I should stay at UGA since the location near Charlotte is decent, and we get recruited by BoA and wachovia. Seeing as Wachovia could make a move to scoop up a bank as well. I still think UGA will be ok, no it won't land me near NYC but it'll get me to where I'm going. Question is, with IB taking an ass raping, should I just stay at UGA bc of decent location to ATL and charlotte?
I have a couple contacts at HLHZ as well as Suntrust, but my BEST and most hopefull connect. was at ML :-(.

And I still can't believe
And I still can't believe Lehman went down. For anybody on here thats at Lehman or ML I hope everything works out!! I really hope this doesn't hurt too many people although it seems inevitable.
You should stay at UGA
You should stay at UGA for no other reasons than SEC football is second to none and Southern girls are HOT.
you definitely are right
you definitely are right about those two things!! But I dont think Indiana and a couple of other Big 10 or whatever it is now are too bad either in those departments!
As far as finance goes, I
As far as finance goes, I don't think that being at Indiana or UGA will make a huge difference. They're both non-targets for most (if not all) banks.
I would focus on just doing
I would focus on just doing well where you are. As has been discussed in other topics, just go where you think you'll be happiest. That is, of course, unless there's a noticeable difference in career opportunities (say you were talking about Wharton as opposed to Indiana).
No not talking about
No not talking about Wharton, but definitely Indiana and some schools around that area. Indiana is my top choice because I've been asking around a lot, and looked at their website and for IB they seem to be pretty well. I know they do not have the name of the more known targets but it did place a significant amount of students in IB on the Street. I've ready a few different places that they actually placed the most last year but I'm not sure how true it is as I can't see it happening. Their IB Workshop is supposedly top notch and places really well. One list had them at #8 I think for undergrad finance. So while not a major target, it gets kids placed. I was just wondering how the current market conditions would play on people's decisions about IB in relation to school choice and location.
