Hi guys,
I'm a Grade 11 high school student in Canada.
I'm planning to attend the Richard Ivey School of Business as my first choice, and then maybe settle with Schulich or Queen's Commerce if, for some reason, I don't get accepted in Ivey. My marks are pretty good, so that's not an issue for me... higher than the cutoff.
I was wondering if any of you can offer me some advice. I'd want to enter investment banking when I graduate from university, but I'd like to start getting some experience now, if that's at all possible. I know I won't have the prized job of making coffee at Goldman Sachs or anything, but would you know of anything that I would be able to do that sort of relates to investment banking, even business in general?
By the way, any help is greatly appreciated. Also, thank you for taking your time to help me out.
Thanks again for any responses.
hey there
from all my research that i've done in the undergrad arena, queens and ivey are equally tops for finance, and you should avoid schulich. from what i understand, goldman sachs, merill lynch, etc have on campus recruiting at both schools.
it's actually easier to get into ivey and schulich than it is to queens. queens has an extremely high standard - 4300 students for 300 spots, and has a much better environment than schulich.
I would agree with the poster above.....you should also take note that Schulich's reputation is on the rise........this past year, several students placed with US BBs in Toronto as well as the Big 6 Cdn. banks....Goldman NY even decided to interview for summer interns although no students were selected this yr.
Its great that you're really interested in investment banking at such an early stage and keen on breaking in......but find the time to enjoy your youth and be open to possibilities along the way.....try not to have an extremely fixed career mindset as it may come back to haunt you later on....but you sound like you're a smart kid and on the right track...good luck.
