Landing Investment Banking Analyst Position from SMU MSF
Just met with the Director of the SMU MSF program and he told me that out of the ~50 students accepted in the program 1-3 students break into I-Banking. Would you guys drop 50k on a one year program for those odds?
Instatox, all of these MSFs really do that same thing (obviously to varying degrees based on alumni presence and OCR): give you another shot at FT. No matter which MSF you attend, if you have no internship experience on your resume, you will be flighting a (very steep) uphill battle to land interviews. Good luck.
Stupid question.. but what does OCR stand for?
On-campus recruiting.
I hate these stats. The oh I have a low chance of getting in because only X get accepted. Stop speaking in absolutes. Work hard and/or network. End of story. There's many positions open in IB and in the finance industry as a whole.
There's some dude that trolls this forum about SMU MSF's fantastic placements. Makes it sound like it's the holy grail of bschool. Not surprised that he's completely full of shit.
Lol who is this guy?
PM me if you want info on the program
I PM'd you. Not sure if you got my previous PM or not. But looks like I tried reaching out to you in the past.
I think, depending on your prior internship experience and undergraduate GPA, you could get on-campus interviews for summer analyst positions. The biggest challenge for those pursuing an MSF is the fact that it's a one-year program, which forces you to apply for full-time positions (often, without any prior IB experience). Can't speak to the quality of OCR at SMU, but I would think a number of banks recruit there.
3.3 undergraduate GPA in Biochem. No internship experience.
