I am a budding high school investor and going to a top college in my country but unknown in the US. Which major should I take to open most doors for HF/AM (cs,math,eco)? How is BSc math, eco, stats or BSc eco with CS? Even though my college sends atleast 20-30 students to GS,JPM,MS,BLACKROCK etc each year its not the same as in US.They are either BCOM or Bsc Eco,maths . Since there are literally no hedge funds here, I would have to get a MFIN/MFE from a top school (MIT/OXBRIDGE/LSE/COLUMBIA/BOOTH/PRINCETON).

If you're a top student at a top school, they will target you. Visa’s won't be an issue. Remember top means 99th percentile.

As mentioned before: be a 99th percentile student, study STEM (math/stats + CS), study economics in spare time, try land a good MSc abroad as you mentioned. And lastly, you need to work on becoming very polished. This means getting non-academic hobbies, get educated on non-technical subjects, play sports, socialize, etc. Basically, as a foreign asian studying at a non-target you need to be perfect. You need to do everything in your power to prove that you're the outlier to their prior distribution.

Since there are literally no hedge funds here, I would have to get a MFIN/MFE from a top school (MIT/OXBRIDGE/LSE/COLUMBIA/BOOTH/PRINCETON). Is it possible to end up at a billion dollar hedge fund(Citadel/AQR/BA) out of MFIN and how? Do they sponsor visa? 3- Should I work for 1 year before applying or directly after final year. I will be completing my CFA. INDIA
