Georgia tech vs Ohio state vs U Miami
I am currently in the college admission process. I want to work in investment banking/ VC; also would like to do start up consulting. I have been waitlisted at Georgetown so I will not find out about that until end may so I need to commit to a school in the mean time.
Next I have Georgia Tech, where I would have to pay somewhere in the range of 25-30k, but I am trying to have it lowered. I really would like to go here if the costs are affordable. But I don't want to have 120k in debt. They have a strong business program with prestige so I know that my chances will be strong there.
Then last of all I have University of Miami in Florida. They are often viewed as a party school so they don't get recognized for their prestige. The Herbert school of business isn't ranked that high either. But I have been placed in the Foote Fellows program which allows me to skip many gen eds and possibly dual major, this also means that I am in the top 4% of business students. I also have the option to achieve a masters in finance in 4 years or mba in 5 years. They also have a Bermont Carlin program that is a feeder into NYC but only has 20-30 kids a years. My cost here would only be 15k a year. Due to covid many banks and tech companies are moving here so would this be a good time to move there? I am really leaning towards this option but I feel it’s a gamble
please give me some advice. all schools have pros and cons. I would love to go to Georgia tech but I feel I would be an avg student with a lot of debt. At Miami, I could be one of the top students with multiple degrees in a growing market.
Don’t really have input one way or another except to say don’t get an MBA right after undergrad. MSF is fine, helps for recruiting but MBAs are not super helpful right out of undergrad and should be done after getting work experience.
ohio state has the best finance program and most alumni in banking by far followed by georgia tech. also huge startup scene in columbus.
If you're a Foote Fellow and you get into Bermont Carlin, you pretty much have an IB spot secured. I had a similar situation to you but wanted to stay home; I'm not a big partier but I've had a solid experience at this school and it's given me plenty of opportunities, it's been an undervalued blessing. It pretty much goes like this: if you know what you're doing, you will be successful from day one. Many 1st and 2nd years have already gotten into high quality positions, but truth be told, you will have to work for it. We don't have GS or MS coming to campus (not for IB at least) but Bank of America and Citi are very accessible for corporate and investment banking. Plus, we have a legendary business advisor who is essentially a God (if you know, you know).
Hey, I'm currently a senior in highschool and I'm choosing to go to UMiami for financial reasons, foregoing other schools. I'm still very excited to attend the school but obviously as noted by numerous other people, the IB recruiting scene is rather scant at UMiami. I'm a foot fellow and I really want to get into the Bermont Carlin program. Do you have happen to have any advice as to how I could potentially make this easier for myself and what do people mean when they say that the Bermont Carlin program is a direct feeder into IB and/or NYC. I know that they fly you out to Wall Street, but what other benefits does the program give you. Also, what would you say are some other really good programs to join at the school. I've looked heavily into the school, but I'm just interested in your perspective. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Lol I give you my word if you are a high schooler on this site you can probably get in from anywhere. Just focus on networking from day one and be a hardo (not a joke).
Trust me, I have every intention of try harding as much as I can. I’m just really trying to get any advice I can on how to move forward from people who’ve been in my shoes and may know what to do much better than I.
