Do I still stand a chance in equity research after a failed first degree?
To cut things short, I performed badly and consequently withdrew from my first non-target University here in the UK because of personal and health related issues after three years (failed my second year). Now I am at a target (the LSE in the UK) but I will graduate at 26.
Will I stand a chance with high marks, good extracurricular activities, a high GMAT (740) , CFA L1 and my own ER reports or will I not even be considered?
Also, is 26 considered too old for an ER associate position?
I want to make the best out of the next three years and I have figured that this site is ideal platform since there are very helpful and intelligent people who have worked or are working in this segment on this forum. Thanks!
Why would you not stand a chance? If half the kids on here who post stories coming from non targets who network and get into decent positions with average GPA's can get positions, why would you not stand a chance? Do you need someone to rub your back and tell you that you can do it? If that's the case then maybe you don't.
