Currently at a Non target is going to a top university worth it to break into Investment banking?
Hey Guys I need your advice, long story short I'm 23 years old (sophomore) at a completely nontarget looking to break into front office finance(figured I wanted to get into banking late) specifically in the restructuring group. I know brand recognition is very important so I am considering going to get my Master's at a top Uni (UMichigan) if accepted I was looking to get a master's in accounting at UMichigan because UMichigan doesn't have a Master's in finance program. Will going to a top Uni help me rebrand myself? Does it matter what Master's program I seek? and does completing my studies at 27 make me a lesser candidate for an analyst position?

Thanks for the timely response, I appreciate your input.

why are u a sophomore at 23?
I took a gap year after I graduated high school and I also changed from Health Admin to Economics which required more prerequisites I didn't currently have.
I think instead of a MAcc at Umich there’s some target Mfin programs for banks. Not American but I heard Vanderbilt and Georgetown have stronger programs.
I also heard of the university you mentioned that has reputable MF programs. I'm based in Chicago and wanted to stay somewhat close to home but I know UChicago is a long shot with its very low grad acceptance rate.
Realistically any program worth going to for a masters would be highly selective. The high barriers to entry are what bring prestige to programs and earn them a reputation. It’s probably best to just network like crazy, get involved in as many competitions and clubs as possible to pad your resume and recruit for IB right now. It can be done. If you can’t get into a large bank try a boutique, even if it’s small. Any M&A experience is better than none.
Also I would change your username from any actual names just to stay anonymous.
