I would say it is not a very good school for your goals. If you want to do banking in Paris, I would look at top schools in Europe or a top 10 or 15 program in the states with a very good brand (Duke, Berkeley, NYU) if not an M7 school
Nope.
Someone else literally posted about UM last week - would use the search function of the forum.
Generally, if you are not looking at the Harvard / Standford / Wharton set, you should set your eyes on a target / semi-target school with a strong undergrad or MSF program (several of which do a combined degree program to get your B.S. and MSF simultaneously). I would look at UVA, IU, UF and Vanderbilt.
Miami native here.
The answer to your question is no.
.
Is it impossible? No, I've seen a couple of instances of BB associates (NYC) with non-target backgrounds who grinded and made it.
That being said, the amount of people who were able to pull that off is small.
UM - know has some peeps at BAML / Citi. Would guess to say a realistic route to France, don't know specifically about France's recruitment process, would be Boutique IB Miami / SouthFlorida -> Maybe MM US - > France IB.
Would I do it? No, MBA is your golden ticket to start over again and UM is too expensive for what it is. Would target better schools or try getting into a boutique IB bank in your region by networking.
Good luck
No. If you're going for IB not worth going anywhere below UNC/Emory/Gtown type program.
