Is Under Grad Important enough to pay OOS to go to a non target
I am a highschool senior and currently in the process of applying to college and looking for some advice I want to end up in an Hedge Fund one day,I currently work with a hedgefund manager family friend who runs a small fund but has great returns. I want to eventually do something similar and I dont know what the best way to go about doing this is in picking a ugrad school.
My gpa is a little low 3.31 I think I think its a little lower unweighting maybe 3.2 or so, but my act is 28 but most subscores 30+ I screwed up english, my question for you guys is if paying OOS tuition would be worth it to go to a school like
Wisc-Madison
IU-Bloomington
Maybe Michigan, if i get in, along with the fact it is 10k more than the previous schools
or should I start applying to most private NE schools like BU or NEU that are easy enough to get into?
And I'm open to suggestions to what schools I should apply to, I just wante dto get this out there because a lot of schools have a deadline by nov 1st for financial aid, and I was wondering if I'm just passing over some schools
P.S. I'm from Missouri and the in state schools are deffinatly worse than those above.
IMB4- Havard or bust.
It's worth it if you can afford it OP. Most people can't (read avg American income being 50K per year) and most people aren't aiming for finance but rather engineering/law/medicine type fields where grad school is expected. Wisconsin and Indiana are definitely much better options than Bentley/NEU regardless of price imo
1 ) Michigan (Ross) is a target. Indiana (Kelley) is a semi-target.
2) Why not try a shot at Washington University and University of Illinois too.
3) BU is not on the same level as BC and NYU. Those are ones you should be thinking about for the East Coast, along with UVA and UNC-Chapel Hill.
Does UIUC have better or on par buisness programs as Wisconsin or Indiana,or would someone at UIUC be better of as a CS major since that is what they are known for?
Is Mizzou significantly worse than the Above schools that being significantly cheaper wouldnt make up for the loss of opprotunity in Finance?
I would not go to Mizzou, because I guarantee you'd end up transferring.
I would apply to these (all have OCR): -Michigan -UVA -UNC -IU -UIUC
I second IU Kelley as best, then Wisconsin=Texas, and then UIUC. I don't envision Mich/uva/unc being attainable with 3.2/3.3 and would apply to BU, Fordham, George Washington type schools instead
Go to the best school you can afford, but be careful to also weigh whether it's a good fit for you. You're a high school senior, and while you have aspirations of getting involved with a hedge fund now, that may very well change. And even if it doesn't, you have to spend 4 crucial years of your life in college. Wherever you end up, just do your best and try not to get too hung up on whether your school is "good" enough.
You will not get into Michigan with those stats.
Wisconsin is a great school for finance. Their real estate program is definitely a target, and places better than a lot of the ivies. Probably could get something in IBD too since you have a head start by knowing about this site in HS.
Kelley's investment banking workshop places extremely well into IBD from what I hear, don't know a ton else about it though.
