Getting into IB from CMU?

Anyone here have any insight on Carnegie Mellon undergrad?

How well does it place into IB? How strong is the business program? What is the overall student experience there like?

Interesting - I haven't met any analysts who went there but it should be a school with a ton of smart students

 

Student experience is horrendous, better if part of a varsity sport or Greek life. Look for investment banking academy that’s usually our pipeline

 

Is cmu a fun school? Always had the impression the campus is full of dorks 

 

I'm late here, but I've worked with two people who have come out of CMU undergrad. They were a part of the investment banking club and said that being involved with that gave them connections to alumni who eventually placed them in interviews.

Don't expect companies to recruit on campus. You'll need to reach out to alumni in the industry and use that as your way into recruiting processes. It'll be a lot of work, but you can make that a part of "your story" that you tell in interviews.
