UIUC vs. IU vs. UW Madison Investment banking?
In-state for Illinois. I know none of these are very good, but which one's the best? I'm also into UMich and I know that's the best, but there's no way I can afford it. IU Kelley is the only one I have direct admittance into. I'm thinking it's the best even though it's so easy to get into. Thoughts?
Hey man, don't beat yourself up so much - all of those are good state schools and have good placement into ibanking. More specifically, they have strong placement into MM IBD (Blair, Baird, BMO, etc...) and the Chicago offices of BBs (especially UIUC for JPM Chicago, and UW for GS Chicago). I would say UIUC and IU are strongest for placement into Chicago with a slight edge for UIUC as it is a bigger name in the state and the city. For NYC, I give an edge to IU followed by UIUC.
Agree with mountainvalley re: Chicago and NYC preferences for each school. I went to UIUC and had a lot of friends who got into BB in NYC and Chicago (GS, JPM, UBS, DB, Citi, etc). More so Chicago, but a few NYC. I definitely think Kelley is better if you want NYC. Regardless, if you have very strong GPA, can secure an internship and get involved in some finance-related extracurriculars you should be good.
IU..saw plenty of kids from Kelley at superdays and I don't think I saw anyone from UW or UIUC.
UIUC. They do just as fine, and you are paying in-state tuition as well. Never quite understand why people paying OOS for a public school - would just pay a few thousand more for a top private.
DePaul ftw. UofC if you can. There's also UIC, with the major advantage over UIUC being that you can have an internship for 4 years strait before graduation (I know a guy that did just that).
And if you're interested in seeing DePaul send me a PM; I'm a senior there.
Have to decide very soon. Pretty sure I'm going Kelley, but just thought I'd put this back up for any last minute advice. Definitely want to work in NY, been my dream for a long time.
Wait did you say you're in at UMich but can't afford it? If you get into Ross and land your dream job, it'll be worth the additional debt. Don't make a decision you'll regret for the rest of your life.
I can barely afford iu or uw though, already would be in debt for those. Mich would be 40k more in all. Idk maybe I could transfer there?
What do you mean you can't afford it? You can't get the student loans or what? An additional 40K won't kill you over the long term. Just something to consider.
