Hey everybody, how screwed would I be trying to put my foot in the door as an Analyst or Consultant with an undergrad in IDS or Finance From UIC ? Will transferring to Depaul help me out at all? Northwestern and Uchicago are out of the equation and how can I prep for this ? I'm currently a freshman Thank you all

Not sure what UIC has to offer, but I know DePaul has an IB club. From what I've heard, president interned at GS IBD this summer. He was the founder though. I don't know how useful it is, but at least it is a way to learn about the industry and network a little (assuming here). I would recommend doing your best to max out your GPA then apply to both Northwestern & U Chicago with DePaul as a safety. No risk in applying, and if you have a 3.8+ you'll be a decent transfer candidate for Northwestern. I have a friend who was accepted from IU to transfer, think he had between a 3.6-3.9 but was a poly sci major. Hope that helps.
Thanks for your response Deal team Six, Im pushing hard for Depaul over UIC Northwestern is a little far and very expensive for me. same for Uchicago
Your welcome. PM me if you want any further advice in regards to any of the schools. Good luck!
UIC won't get you into shit... You'd be better off going to another Private school in the Chicagoland area like Loyola & DePaul. I would recommend NIU(NIU Alumni here), but only if you are wanting to go into Advisory or Big4.. not necessarily for finance. I just happened to get lucky and land an AM role.
Yea thats what my cousins told me (Northwestern Grad)
