I was admitted to a few FT MBA programs (Emory, UNC, Georgetown) and waitlisted at UCLA FEMBA (part time) for start in summer 2019. I am looking to get into IB in LA (HL RX, BAML, CS, etc) post MBA. If I go to one of the FT MBA programs, will it be hard to get into IB in LA since all the schools are in east coast? Should I go to UCLA FEMBA even though it's part time?
About Me: 28 years old, Asian American, NYC Been working on S&T at a BB for 5 years post MBA
Thanks

Very low probability of getting into the LA office for any bank from those schools on the east coast. Did you apply to any west cost MBA programs for full-time?
Unfortunately, didn't apply to any full-time programs in the west coast
Unfortunately, there is a very low chance of it happening. A LinkedIn search will turn up that the only MBA programs with more than a couple people in LA outside of schools on the west coast are Columbia, Wharton, Booth, Tuck. Very low probability of it happening at those other places and an uphill battle the whole way.
