Get instant access to lessons taught by experienced private equity pros and bulge bracket investment bankers including financial statement modeling, DCF, M&A, LBO, Comps and Excel Modeling.
What is your major? Just take some finance courses and ace the courses.
Get a copy of Ross, Westerfield if you actually want a good finance textbook or something. Otherwise, just do well in finance courses and take a couple of modeling courses.
