Michigan LSA, uMiami, Fordham, Penn State, uConn for Investment Banking
I got into Michigan's LSA, uMiami, Fordham, Penn State, uConn, uCinicinnati and ASU. Working on wall street is preferential however, I wouldn't mind working elsewhere. I'm aware Fordham would put me in a better position to get into NY IB however their total annual IB placements is relatively low (correct me if I'm wrong).
For background info, I'm an international student and the aid for almost all schools are practically negligible so cost isn't a factor that is playing a huge role in my decision.
I am ready to put in the work and network my way up however, I'd like to know which schools would place better overall, and which would place better in NY IB.Can I get opinions and a ranking?
if cost truly isn’t a factor, you don’t need a ranking - go to michigan. many top performing students in the LSA transfer to ross with ease. and, even outside of ross, michigan is a phenomenal school, with unmatched recognition nationally.
michigan has fantastic placement into EB/BB IB on wall-street both in and outside of ross. if you’re in a major outside the business school, economics and math are both perfectly fine tracts into high-finance. and, if you work to maintain a 3.7+, do a finance/investment focused club or two, maybe rush a fraternity, and tap into the active alumni network, you will have no problem at all landing a great gig. michigan alums go to bat for other michigan alums, and non-michigan alums respect the hell out of the school.
to speak to this more personally, i have a couple of friends at michigan who have landed the exact jobs you seek. they are not ross students. they are simply econ majors in the LSA, who are a part michigan’s student investment group, and maintain good grades. and, just as important to mention, is that they have absolutely loved the time they’ve spent at michigan. its an academically challenging and intellectually curious party school with a super fun student body.
unless you fall in love with one of your other schools, i would highly recommend you consider michigan seriously. hope this helps.
Thank you so much for your reply! I’ll definitely look into accepting Michigan. My only dilemma now is, I currently enjoy studying Business Finance more than I enjoy economics (I take the British A level curriculum so i take them as main subjects and not as high school electives). If Michigan was out of picture, what would you suggest?
