Career in IB or Management Consulting after a "Tech" College
My kid's first choice college is rarely mentioned on WSO but was admitted to MIT, JHU, Swarthmore, UVA, and UMCP so far. We should hear back from the Ivies in early April - applied to all except Dartmouth and Cornell. After a discussion this past weekend, the kid is leaning towards MIT unless H or Y offer admission. The intended majors are Economics and Computer Science. May replace Economics with a Sloan Business option down the road but CS is a keeper.
From a career perspective, what are your thoughts about MIT for IB or MC if H or Y does not plan out?
By the way, UVA was be the most expensive based in his merit/financial aid package and UMCP would be free - Banneker/Key Scholar. Also, applied to all top LACs and USC. From a social/networking perspective, there is great chance of playing on the men's tennis team.
Your kid sounds smart, should do well at getting into either IB or MC from MIT.
Although I have to ask, do you want your kid to enter those fields or do they want to?
Great question especially with all the horrible stories about the culture. Wants to try it out (and live in NYC for a few years) before launching a Startup. Supposedly, MIT is great for the entrepreneurship track.
MIT and then go work in the valley and employ legions of sweaty 20 years olds for the rest of time while rolling into work at 1030
Any MIT grads or their street (Mass Ave) mates from Harvard care to respond?
College confidential vibes. MIT is the clear choice here (of the current acceptances), and of course any school of MIT's caliber will be good for IB or MC.
