If you are asking this question than you should not pursue I-banking.
Well it's a pretty general question, no one wants to spend the next 12 years in college after HS, thats why people do some research before they enter (I don't mean to be rude)
Dude you're thinking of going to community college and not taking the SATs? And you asked if you need 12 years of school? You're outttttttttttttttta there.
you can get an analyst position right after undergrad or an associate after MBA...typically. so only 4 yrs of college.
4 years with a BA not an MBA right? So how many years will an MBA take?
One last question, if I go to a CC first then to UCLA, will they still look at my SAT's? Because since I have already planned on going to a CC I am not going to take SAT's. However, this may change my mind.
mba = 2 yrs, don't need it to start ibanking
yes, they will look at your SATs, and you should definitely take them...and going to a CC and UCLA is not going to help your cause. you should plan on getting at least a 1300 on your SATs to be competitive.
