TAMU bankers out there?

Going to a huge school like A&M is great because it provides a large alumni network and Aggies are notorious for keeping it in the club. The downside is that it can be difficult to standout because you probably have 100 finance majors graduating with a GPA in the 3.3 - 3.8 range every semester (making that statistic up). Hopefully you still have a couple years in school and can take advantage of some of the small programs offered through Mays, Aggies on Wall Street, Tanner Fund, Titans, AIC, etc. These programs should give your resume a little extra pop, and more importantly they will give you access to like-minded students, more helpful faculty, and alumni that want to help out.

Once you catch a break and get accepted to one of these programs, or if you're able to get an interview, don't waste it. Do your homework ahead of time and be prepared, ask insightful questions, be up to date on current market events, know the fundamentals. You won't get many chances, and nobody is going to vouch for you if they're not convinced that you want it bad enough to put in the work.
