Career Resources
If you end up at UF, 100% do the MSF program. If you're non-diversity, MSF is your only shot unless you hardcore network. If you're diversity (especially URM), you can place very well with zero troubles if you do SEO and MLT.
UF sends a fuck ton to Evercore
Thought it's 1-2 per year
This is why we can't hire UF grads - lackluster counting skills
Not the guy who made the parent comment, but yeah, it's only about 1 to 3 to Evercore every year. 1 to 3 ain't bad for a bank like Evercore which only has around 30 to 35 M&A interns every year though.
Realistically, coming from UF, it should be extremely easy to get offers from RBC, Wells Fargo, or SunTrust Robinson Humphrey if you're not an idiot, have a solid resume, and can interview well. If you're in MSF and want banking, typically at least one kid gets placed at Jefferies, Houlihan, and Macquarie every year. I know someone who says there's been an alum at Gugg who's pushing kids this year too. If you're interested at all in AM or S&T, MSF has alum ready to push at BBs and other strong firms; not many kids are into those areas though so not a lot of placement currently. It's weird since UF is such a large school, but there aren't many kids who are interested in financial services. Max 50 kids are even interested in financial services (IB, AM, S&T, ER, etc.,) year to year.
Gator alum aren't very plentiful across the street, but there always seems to be at least a few at every firm and they're pretty receptive to networking if you reach out. Gators love to help Gators.
If you're diversity, you can go BB, EB, MM, or whatever you want.
Youre acting as if schools have placements.
why is it easier if your a minority
hello Gator, UM student here (go Canes!); if I can do it, so can you. I have a few UF friends who placed into RBC this year; at UM our competitive pool is a bit smaller but those of us who try can get really good spots. You have a better situation than we do, so it isn't too bad. UF's network for their business school is well developed friend.
To address the "from other public unis" comment, yes, UVA, UMich, and UNC are generally considered at least semi-targets. UF is maybe a cut below those guys but certainly still achievable, especially in the South.
UF is a joke.
Three public schools that put the most in IB: Michigan, UVA, and Texas. And it's not even really close after that (including UNC.)
UNC slander is ridiculous - if you want a BB offer and are competent you will get one
This is all so tiring... You all diss the non-target kids, the public school kids diss each other for being from UMichigan instead of UVA, the Ivy kids all look down on you, Yale and Harvard look down on Cornell for being a meme, the mid tier BBs diss RBC and DB, JPM and MS diss Barclays and Citi, GS disses everyone else, hedge fund kids diss the rest of the world. Do you ever get tired of it? What if we just focused on ourselves? There are so many nuances to consider. I had an over 75th percentile SAT for UMich and UVA but hated the areas so I went to a non-target school more location-convenient for a better scholarship and still broke into a BB. I just can't fucking do this any more, every single day with the dick measuring and the meaningless insults, if you got in, who cares?
Because this is WSO, full of insecure clowns.
There's a reason you don't see true heavy hitters at GS/KKR/BX/etc on these forums whatsoever.
