Yenching Academy or Tier 3 IB Graduate Analyst Program London
Hello, I got two options: A one to two-year fully covered Master's Program at Beijing University in Economics and Management (Yenching Academy) or a Tier 3 IB Graduate Analyst Program in London (Equity Research/ECM but less M&A). Studied Economics and started late in figuring out that I wanted to do IB in the future.
How reputable is the Yenching Academy in having a better possibility to find a better Tier 1/2 opportunity (internships and/or full-time). Is it better to start at the Tier 3 and then lateral to better banks? Thanks in advance.
Would be curious to know how the Yenching Academy compares to the Schwarzman Scholars program
I think Schwarzman has the slight edge on prestige and a decent edge finance placement, but idk for sure. That's just the impression I got when researching the two.
both equally selective / prestigious. Schwarzman is a one year Master in Global Affairs primarily focused on introducing students to China while taking idk what kind of classes to be the leaders of tomorrow (a lot of networking and business oriented i guess) but not sure what skills they learn there. Yenching is a one to two year Master in Law/Economics/etc. in China Studies where students have to take Chinese classes, specific core courses and their chosen specialization with a thesis but seems to be more academia oriented.
Schwarzman isn't really prestigious. They regularly take people from Deloitte (including people who worked there for a few years after graduating) and stuff, it's not very selective. No idea about Yenching.
If you don't mind me asking, what do you think is the reason you were able to get into the prestigious Yenching program but only a "tier 3" British program?
As explained in the post, started late with recruiting as I was not dead set for IB. Non-Target for IB, not a business school, non-Finance major, but reputable uni in academia. By the time I realized I wanted to do IB and got to know how it works with applications/interviews/etc, it was already too late.
The question is FT opportunity or Yenching Academy?
Not really. Yenching has solid placement
Not really what?
Solid placement where?
So Yenching over FT?
