I have a 3.6 in finance from a non-targeted in Fl. I moved to the States after my third year so never had the opportunity for internships. want to get with GS or ML but they dont visit my U, I'm a senior graduating in december with NO- experience. I'm thinking about joining Ibtrining.com to subtitute my lack of experience but is quite pricy. Is it worth? Any one?

Being from a non-target is usually not a huge obstacle - but having "NO Experience" is going to be a big issue - unless you have some serious connections and the brains to back it up.
Best Advice; do not focus exclusively on the BB's or MM's. Diversify your employment search amongst regional groups and boutiques.
*You may have an advantage (and don't take this the wrong way) finding a much better job and or entry-level employment opportunity in your home country. I mean that sincerely, b/c if you're aiming for GS and ML from a non-target, with no relationships and only a 3.6 - you're already behind the curve. But not out of the game depending on how you play it.
Thanks for the advise, I know that the "NO- experience" factor is making my dream evaporate before my eyes, but I think I should just try some boutiques around FL. In the other hand my family (husband) suggest that i go for my MBA rigth away in a top 10, but I'm done with school at least for the next two years. What do oyu think?
