Is Georgia Tech a semi target school?

I will be going to Georgia Tech to study finance this fall as class of '20. Going to Georgia Tech would be the best financial choice (basically debt free) as an in-state resident with scholarships. I would like to know the chances of breaking into investment banks from Georgia Tech. 1)Would Georgia Tech not be good enough for investment banks? 2)Would it worth transferring after sophomore year to a better school (e.g. Emory or Uni of North Carolina-Capel Hills) but be in student debt after graduating out of college? 3)Would it worth saving the undergrad tuition and go to a better business grad school for MBA instead?

What are your thoughts?

  1. Every year Tech gets better for IB (and S&T for that matter). They've had STRH come to campus for years, but increasingly kids are going to MM and BB IBs in Atlanta and NYC.
  2. Only if you aren't happy with the school itself. If you know you want IB from Tech, you can certainly get there with good grades (think 3.7+ GPA as a business major) and some networking.
  3. Most Tech undergrads who want an MBA end up in Top 15 MBAs, so it's certainly doable. Georgia Tech will give you a valuable degree, you just need to work a bit harder to land a job in IB.

PM me if you want more details.

 

I know it sounds stupid to ask, but what kind of network should I build while in college that will help me to get into the invesment bank industry? Could you please elaborate on that
