MBA Best Route for me?
Alright so I am a science major junior at University of Alberta in Canada with a 3.9GPA. I have no financial experience as I was going for medicine, but starting last year I was interested in finance and started to take Econ and finance classes available, I really want to pursue investment banking now, but since I decided so late I have no internships for my junior summer. I have a few questions:
1) Would it be possible for me to take a 5th year of studying and try to get an internship between my 4th and 5th year? Or would banks not consider me for it since I’m not technically a junior.
2) if the first option isn’t possible, I’m assuming the MBA route is my only chance, problem is I will need lots of work experience in finance to get into a top Finance MBA programs I’m looking at, what finance type work could I even get with a science degree?
Thank you, appreciate any advice on this, I know my possibilities of getting in are slim but I’m willing to try my hardest.
Go apply to Ivey HBA, its like a mini-MBA with one summer internship at Big 5 where they target for IB and it would leave you with your MBA card still available for the future
Is the HBA not just another bachelors degree? I’ve heard Ivey HBA only allows years 1 and 2 to transfer into the program?
