Major/school help for IB or FA
So I'm in community college and I'm trying to figure out which of my three options would be best. It's also important to note that I live in Maryland.
Option 1(my #1 pick)= Rober H Smith school of business(university of marylands business school) and get a degree in finance. Only thing is I may not get accepted as it's very competitive.
Option 2=university of Maryland and get an economics degree. You can't get a finance degree unless you go to their business school (Robert H Smith) but as said above I don't know id be able to get in
Option 3= Towson (decent school) in Maryland and get a finance degree.
So here's my question, if option number 1 does not work out, which one should I do? I want to be either in IB (longshot) or a FA. So again, which is my best option if #1 doesn't work out? All options will most likely be followed up with an MBA eventually also so I was curious how much all this matters if I get into a good MBA school. Thanks!
Go to UMD regardless. Whether or not you're in the business school, Maryland does have some alumni throughout Wall Street and if you get involved in the right ways (b-school or not) you'll set yourself up to have a stronger chance than coming from Towson.
Yeah that's what I'm thinking to. Anymore opinions?
Agreed. Unless you have a particular reason to choose Towson over Maryland, go to UMD. The difference between an econ and finance degree doesn't really matter, but going to the "better" school generally gives you more options
