Should I even try??
Hey everyone,
I'm currently in the UK at a Non-target studying Computer Science. I was accepted at a target for finance but after results got out I was rejected as I didn't get the grades I was predicted (some personal family stuff - couldn't really study for finals, got a shitty BBB).
So I went through clearing and switched to CS... so far doing very good... Expect to graduate with a very strong first 85-90%. I still really want to get into finance and more specifically IB. I have a corporate banking job lined up at Citi after I graduate just to get some experience for a year or so before aiming to get a MSc in Finance at a strong target.
Lets say hypothetically I do get into the MSc Finance program at a target... would my highschool grades still "haunt" me. Would I get auto rejected for summer internships and graduate roles?
Thanks :)
I think if you were in the US they wouldn't really care as long as you are in a target + good grades. But I think high school grades are slightly more important in the UK...
