Florida State University for undergrad
Will I have a good shot at a top MBA program after going to FSU for undergrad? Assuming my stats are pretty good, 3.75+ GPA, 700+ GMAT, and 5 years work exp., can I be competitive at top MBA programs?
I'm still in undergrad at a state school (ranked a bit higher than FSU), but i know plenty of alunmi who have gone to top MBA programs. I think the biggest factor will be the quality of your work experience, if you have GPA & GMAT competitive enough. Again this is not from experience but rather from what I've been told..
keep your gpa up and get some prestigious work experience after college and u have a decent shot
Fact of the matter is with hard work you can get to Goldman, McKinsey, Blackstone, you name it right after undergrad. You think Wharton is the only place that can get you there and you go there and you may find yourself just a mid-tier student there and you will not get many interviews. On the same token, you can go to Florida State and be the top guy at the school and get whatever you want. Point is go to whatever school you like the people and that you can see yourself enjoying, don't go to the school that is most likely to get you a Harvard MBA or Goldman out of undergrad. What is wrong with people today?
Yeah, go to FSU. Then keep driving, three hours south to the University of Florida. Stay there.
Try to surround yourself with the smartest people. Who cares if the dumb guy sitting next to you is likable.
FSU? (Originally Posted: 02/14/2007)
I goto FSU, which is not the greatest school, but my gpa is pretty good, 3.9 and taking practice GMATS and scoring between 650-700. But if I get my MBA from a top school,do I have a good shot at an Ibanking job?
if you get your mba from a top school going to FSU as an undergrad wont matter...
thanks

So I'll be going to college at florida state university.
I'm a smart man and I know I can pull off a GPA of 3.7+ at FSU, I slacked off, and partied too much in high school to make it to a prestigious university. Now I'm ready to put my nose in the books and work hard.
My plan is to get my 4year degree at FSU in something like Finance, Management or Economics and then working for a few years, hopefully only two. Then getting an MBA at a higher level college such as Berkeley or Duke.
I was wondering what my chances are of landing a job in investment banking/consulting/S&T after I get my MBA at Berkeley (hypothetically speaking)?
What are my chances at landings a small 2year internship at a consulting/IB firm to help me get into a prestigious school for an MBA?
Will the fact that I'm going to FSU greatly decrease my chances of getting into Berkeley?
Get a 4.00 (no B's...not 3.97),,, blow away your peers, intern PWM freshman year, Boutique Soph, BB Junior...Start working at a BB after your senior year.
Why not? Uni of Georgia placed a guy at Lehman Bros', he was a univ scholar, double degree, 4.0, complete badass. Model yourself on this guy.
Then get your Duke MBA, or UC Berk MBA.
What does PWM and boutique mean? Sorry I'm not familiar with these terms.
