Hello everyone,
I created a post about a year ago asking about getting a summer internship as a community college student and breaking into the field in general (https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/break-into…). I got much feedback in this forum, so thank you very much for that! Special thanks @RedRage" , @HY.r.e.a.m" , @Primeape14" , and @dcrowoar" . After taking all the insights into consideration, I made sure to follow everything that I have been told: I have kept my grades up, continued crunching on finance classes in Coursera, and got two consecutive internships in supply chain management at two big companies (couldn't get anything in finance). Most importantly, I worked on finishing up the CC and transferring to a 4-year school with a name that would look better on my resume. All of my admissions letters are back, and now I have two options: U of I at Urbana-Champaign (got into the business school majoring in finance) & Georgetown (got into the liberal arts school majoring in economics). While I am leaning towards GU for its location and network, I am not sure if being an econ major at a liberal arts college affects my chances of being of any interest to recruiters. On the other hand, UIUC has one of the best schools in Midwest, but I am not sure what my chances of ending up on Wall Street would be considering that everyone keeps calling it "semi-target". So, may I have your opinion on which school would be a better choice in this case? As always, any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks!
All the best,
Amarak
BOTH of these schools have a Chipotle ON CAMPUS. FANTASTIC JOB!
A quick update: It's been almost 4 months since I transferred to Georgetown, and I am yet to find a Chipotle on campus. You're fake news, sir.
It's 0.4 miles away. If you lived in Alaska, you would be a plane ride away from the nearest Chipotle. Cry me a fucking river!
