looks like a good program. I don't know about UCSB campus recruiting though. But if you're going to go to grad school it would be good.

 

I know for a fact that UCSB recruiting isn't great for both finance / consulting. Where else did you get in?

For UC's go Berkeley / LA - those are the only target schools. SB is also far away from LA / OC too so you're not gonna get that many "local" firms either. UIUC / UMICH / UT all have similar admissions standards - so if you don't mind paying out of state for a few years, those schools will have stronger recruiting.

 

Sapiente velit quis corrupti fuga rerum sunt mollitia. Occaecati doloribus ex et officiis doloremque.

Quis doloremque qui rerum rem inventore ratione asperiores labore. Numquam sed tenetur asperiores dignissimos est aut.

Et eum soluta nisi ut. Nisi libero eos dicta nostrum in. Minima facere velit excepturi voluptas sint quam. Natus repellat distinctio voluptas voluptatem doloremque praesentium. Itaque rerum dignissimos exercitationem distinctio.

The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.
