Wall Street in Miami

With all the hype surrounding firms relocating to Miami, would it be wise for me to attend UMiami? I’m enrolled in a top college in NC (WF/Davidson, not Duke level though) it has quite a big presence in Charlotte IB. The question is should I apply to UMiami? I deferred my enrolment to 2021 due to the pandemic and with all the hype surrounding Miami would it be a wise decision to consider UMiami? It would be a downgrade in the ranking (according to Niche) but is it worth it? My end goal is to get into HF with the normal 2 year stint in IB then hopefully an M7 MBA

I didn’t really do anything meaningful during the last 8 months to justify getting in lol, my application looks exactly the same as it did last year and with the increased amount of applicants I doubt that the outcome would be any different, it’ll just be one big fat rejection

 

I doubt firms will magically start restructuring hiring processes. If you can go to a target then that would be worth transferring to. Firms are still going to value Ivys and Ivy - adjacent over other schools because that is where most of their current staff went and it’s the easiest filtering process.
