Controversial

I forgot to mention - in case it's relevant, I also go to a top target school (think Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Stanford).

 

Thanks! I'll look into therapy - do you know what the landscape looks like for top firms in the behavioral health space? In case it's relevant, I have a top health insurance plan (think BCBS Platinum Standard/UHC Standard Platinum/Aetna Platinum) through my father's occupation (think Medicine/Law/Finance).

 

What outfits do you think would attract the most women? I own apparel and accessories from a few top-tier brands (think Brunello Cucinelli/Giorgio Armani/Salvatore Ferragamo/Audemars Piguet).

 

Just have fun. Party, see your friends, find a hobby. You'll have plenty of time to work once you start, where as college is almost over. Take advantage of it

You should travel - I think it depends on which one of those groups you're in. If truly top (GSTMT) you could probably go somewhere like St Barths. Otherwise I'd go just go to like Ibiza or something with the other future mid tier bankers.

Another hot take: wish I paid more attention in my computer science class in college

Feel like with all this AI stuff going on, it's not a bad idea to get some coding experience under your belt even if you're dead set on IB
