Transfering to USC

I am currently at a SUNY school pursuing an economics degree. I applied for a few transfer schools and received an acceptance from USC school of art for a math major. I've applied to NYU and Cornell so waiting to hear from them but I'm not sure how good the USC option is from where I am right now. Also, are students in the school of arts exposed to the networking events and recruiting available to the business school? I'm finishing up my sophomore year at college and still haven't had any luck finding internships which I think is mainly because of my school. My goal is to get into investment banking. Let me know what you guys think.

Investment Banking Mock Coffee Chat

“I had a great conversation with Jorge and genuinely appreciated his willingness to share his experience and insights. His career journey, from an engineering background into investment banking and subsequently investing, was particularly interesting and highly relevant to my own career aspirations. He provided thoughtful perspectives on breaking into investment banking in London, navigating the transition from the sell-side to the buy-side, and developing the skills and judgement required to become a successful investor. I particularly valued his emphasis on the importance of understanding the industries and businesses behind financial transactions: strong industry knowledge is essential not only to assess companies and investment opportunities more effectively, but also to become a more well-rounded and insightful finance professional. I also appreciated the openness of his answers, which reflected his own professional experience. The conversation was helpful and engaging.”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“Very comprehensive session. We worked through a paper LBO and I got useful tips on how to build the debt schedule. Mentor's camera didn’t work because of a technical issue, but that didn’t affect the quality of the session at all, and I felt I advanced a lot. It was straight to the point: she moved from question to question without wasting any time, and finished with direct feedback. The follow-up note was clear and specific, with two priorities (IB vs PE and the LBO walk) and a plan for the next session. Honestly one of the best sessions I’ve had.”

USC is by far the move. Amazing connections, great weather, strong business school, and a lot of fun. Would be making a mistake not going there.
