“3 year econ graduate” on resume to qualify?
I’m a straight white male incoming 2nd year at a target university with a 2+2 year ugrad business school (there’s literally 2 of these). Is it wrong/bad to write on my resume that I’ll graduate in 3 years with an Econ degree when I plan to apply to the business school and graduate in 4 years? Thats how id be ‘qualified’ for some competitive internships. I’m struggling with the idea that I won’t be considered for certain roles because of my race, sex, and sexuality and looking to overcome this.
You should 100% do that. ik a kid who did that and got a BX offer (not corporate PE but still a very very group for his sophomore summer).
Just don't target firms that you want to seriously work at (i.e. if you apply to a firm for SA 2023 with one graduation date and to a SA 2024 role with another graduation date, you'll probably get caught)
For what it's worth, I did the same thing as a non-diverse low-income male who was not eligible for any of the diverse programs and things worked out very well for me :)
So you applied for sophomore summer internships and listed your graduation date as if you'd be graduating in 3 years?
yessir. again, just be smart and don't apply to 2 roles in the same company with different resumes/graduation dates. You'll get caught if you do that. I would target low mid-tier regional IB groups (i.e. in SF, LA, Chicago, Houston, Boston, Minneapolis, etc.) and low/mid-tier buyside firms for your sophomore summer to mitigate overlap between your sophomore and junior summer internship outreach/applications.
edit: omit the b-school program and if they ask how/why you'll graduate in 3 years, you tell them because 1: you had a bunch of AP credits and 2: financial reasons (to save $70k or whatever the amount is for you).
Would you mind PM'ing me? I appreciate your response
