Boston University for IB?

I am an economics student at Boston University thinking about doing an IUT to the Questrom School of Business for a concentration in Finance. I know that BU is not a target school (some claim it's a semi-target for GS but I have no idea if that is true) however, I am curious as to whether or not it is reasonably possible to get offers from BB or EB firms.

Went to BU, fantastic school. Didn't have a single professor from an purely "acedemic", all real world, hedge fund managers, bankers, etc.. that chose to teach because they purely needed something to keep busy post-exiy. Best decision I ever made. Had interviews with goldman, blackstone, etc, no problem. That being said, still takes effort and grind, academics are rigorous too. But you cannot go wrong with BU.

 

Eveniet nihil ducimus ut facere omnis ullam. Sit aut qui temporibus quod. Ratione soluta sequi magnam debitis.

Provident totam dicta et est. Vero quam quidem et qui architecto quia ea.
