Which university to give me the best chance.
So I am entering my junior year and right now I've been trying to figure out what colleges can get me to me investment banking. My current high school GPA is 3.6 but right now I'm on track to get a 3.7 this semester and I take a lot of hard classes well with mostly AP and honors classes filling my schedule. Now I have a list of colleges with my top 3 being Penn State, University of Michigan, and UVA. Now I was wondering if I'm reaching with some of these colleges and there out of my league and also are these colleges good enough of a target school to get into investment banking. Also if these colleges are out of my league what other colleges should I be looking to apply to see if I can get into investment banking.
Hi W_H, no, I never sleep and so I can respond to any lonely threads (like this one) at all hours of the night. Impressive, I know ;-)
More suggestions...
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
UVA = UMich Ross >>>>> UMich CAS > Penn State.
UVA is the best state school for breaking into IB because there's no recruiting segregation between McIntire and non-McIntire students for the most part, whereas you need to be at Ross at UMich to get proper OCR.
Penn State is a straight up nontarget with one or two pipelines to IB (Nittany Lion Fund and one other that I forget).
Agreed but honestly would put Ross > UVA > CAS > Penn State
Yeah that's the only reason why I'm looking at it because of the Nittany Lion fund.
UVA is in the same league as Michigan for recruiting but a much better place to spend four years. Charlottesville has much better weather, great nature (Shenadoah national park is half an hour away!!!!), better school culture, great basketball team, three hours away from the beach. Michigan is cold as fuck in the winter.
Yes, exactly. UVA is the clear choice of these three.
How's your SAT and ECs?
I do cross country and golf as my sports plus also am part of a baseball stats club. My SAT I haven't taken yet but I've taken a couple of the old versions of it for practice I got around the range of like 1350 to like 1400.
What race are you? Are you going to apply for financial aid? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to get the full picture.
I'm mixed-race half Indian and half Mexican. Money isn't a problem at all for me, also no worries about the questions.
