Booth/CBS/Yale SOM

Hey all,

I am thinking of getting an internship in Investment Banking (prior transaction experience). I say internship because I am not sure it is right for me so I do want to try it out first. I have been waitlisted at Booth and accepted to CBS and Yale. CBS seems like the right choice but I just fell in love with Yale. CBS appears to be on the decline so wanted to get the perceptions of this community. Does it being an M7 still make it a better choice than Yale? Not sure I want to choose CBS just because of banking as I am not sure 100% that I will end up in it. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

depends on how you see it over short/long term. you'll either be on path to ib MD or get burned out in 2 years or so. Yale SOM and CBS has very strong alumni base behind, especially Yale, otherwise they can never get this far quickly
