Career Resources
realistically, transfer to a semi-target is your best bet. otherwise, try to get a solid freshman internship and leverage it for a better one the next summer, etc
Walk on to Alabama's football team and become a starter. Proceed to say fuck IB and go into the NFL. Retire and join Wall Street with a story about how competitive you are and that you easily bench more than anyone on the street. Proceed to receive offer and sign contract at a premium rate + owning your imaging rights. Succeed.
On a real note, it's all about developing your network and working hard. Keep those grades above a 3.5 even while fratting hard. Oh and keep building a network (see the distinction I'm making here?).
If you go to UGA, join the Corsair Society; they place very well.
If you go to UGA, try and join the Student Managed Investment Fund (members are typically in Corsair as well) kids have gone from that to IBanking so there's a little bit of alumni presence. Still might be worth trying to transfer to a semi target if you can, not to mention you have to apply to get into Terry after your sophomore year anyway. Also, stay in from of SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, UGA is in their backyard so they try and recruit on campus.
How are your SAT scores? If GaTech is as in-state on tuition as UGA is, I'd study engineering there.
You can make it to Wall Street from a CS degree at GaTech. If you are agnostic about trading or a quant role vs. IBD, it will be a tad bit easier than trying to pull it off from Vanderbilt or Georgetown.
I'm a junior at Bama and am getting NYC BB ibd interviews. That's obviously the exception not the norm, but it's definitely easier here than at UK. On the other hand, UGA has the infrastructure in place with Corsair and is probably a safer bet.
That's sweet man! What do you think of UA's finance program and what did you do to get your interviews?
