Employment Chances
This is a post for one of my friends. He is an upcoming senior at UMD ( College park) looking to break it finance. He wanted to know his chances, of placing into a financial firm directly from school.
School : Econ major, Math minor
GPA : 3.91
GMAT : 750
Internships : Numerix ( Financial software firm), Morgan Stanley
Activities: 1) Head and creator of an investment newsletter, 2)Head of startup ( its an app that is highly used within UMD and neighboring colleges)
Unlike College Confidential, I don't think there's any way of predicting employment chances in finance just based on his stats. Especially without knowing his degree of networking.
But the GPA and past internships definitely look strong
He just wanted to know if he had a chance coming from a non-target . His stars are great and he's really smart , but prestige seems to matter a lot ( a little too much ) I think on wall street .
You're friend might be able to get a job but in back-office. He needed to go to a better school to be in a revenue generation role.
It seems that you are asking for yourself given the information on your profile. Anyhow, It is going to be a heck of an uphill battle, I had hard time landing a gig and I graduated from a semi-target. Networking with boutiques would be an easier path at this point, but I think the strong internships and GPA will help.
