Greetings from an UG student in the NL

Hello to my fellow WSO members,

I am starting my UG programme (intl business administration) in the Netherlands in Sept '14 (btw I am not Dutch).
So far I've only been lurking around on this website, and I have found a lot of useful advice.
I am aiming for IBD (I'd be mostly interested in M&A at the most at the moment, but it may change in the future). And I have gathered that since I won't be attending a target school, it will be a lot harder, but not impossible. So it is definitely worth a try.
In addition, I am planning on doing a MSF afterwards (hopefully at a target) to boost my chances.
I guess I would have more chances of finding a position in London. But I'm also fluent in French and Chinese (Mandarin), so I wouldn't mind working in France or China either.
Since I haven't even started yet, I can't really provide you guys with more information about me.

I'm really liking it here, and finally joining the active monkeys.
Also, I came across a few Dutch students while browsing the forum. Our situations will be quite similar, so if you guys read this and want to exchange experience, tips, etc. feel free to PM me.

Thanks for reading, and please keep up the good work, this website is a gold mine!
