Wall Street Intro

Hello, my name is Ron Bruncaj. I am currently in my final semester at community college and will be attending business school as a finance major in the fall of 2015. The schools I have applied to are Baruch, Fordham and NYU. I will most likely attend Baruch. My goal career wise is to work in a hedge fund as a quantitative analyst and work my way up. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Ideally if you can, try to get into NYU Stern. Fordham and Baruch both have increased the number of bankers in the street and from my understanding both have OCR for various BBs. Though if you truly want to go straight from undergrad to a HF, NYU would be the easiest transition.

Look out for the financial leadership scholar/financial leadership program in Fordham/Baruch respectively if you do happen to attend those schools.
