Pitt vs. Udel
Unfortunately, due to fact that I can't get loans because my parents won't co-sign, and they won't give me any money for college, I can only afford either the University of Delaware or Pitt. My ultimate goal is Investment Banking, and I know that both are extreme non-targets. Any recommendations on which is better?
What state do you live in? I'm pretty sure you can break into NYC IB from Penn State honors college, but you need to keep really high grades, network effectively and have good ECs.
Check out this thread, it has more sleeper targets https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/list-of-sleeper-targets-for-nyc</a">here.
PA, got into penn state, not honors and unfortunately too much. I got a scholarship to both Pitt and Delaware.
Well if nothing from that list of sleeper targets will work, then just follow @TNA" 's advice. He definitely knows way more about this than I do. Good luck and hope it works out.
Hmmm.
I'd do Pitt and target transaction services, valuation, corporate banking, etc. Find a boutique IB internship or credit internship at a local bank.
Food for thought. You could decide to attend a community college and work for a little bit. Would give you money, a credit score and make college cheaper. This would open up more schools for you and you might make your parents more open to helping you with consigning.
You could also get different scholarships as well. if you're looking at state schools, I'm sure they have generous transfer relationships with local community colleges.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Go to Pitt. There are people from Pitt in MBB and IB as well. Just keep your grades up high (3.8+) and have good ECs.
My gut leans toward Pitt, but the UD campus is beautiful and the town is really nice.
I would honestly say choose which school you like best.
Also, for financial aid how are you applying, on your own or through your parents? I think if you apply on your own(don't remember the terminology) you get access to more loans and pell grants.
I was at UD for two years before transferring out. It is tough to get into Ib from there without connections as there is virtually no front office recruiting and little alumni presence on the street. Most of the people who had hopes of IB while I was there ended up going to the big 4 or taking back office roles, with the exception of a few going to boutiques. I agree with the other posters, however, if you want to party, UD is your school.
Did you transfer to a target? If so how challenging was the transfer?

I got into the honors program for Finance, do you have any experience in honors or know anyone in the honors program? Does it help at all, etc.
