Quinnipiac University for S&T
Quinnipiac is a small university located in CT about 90 mins north of NYC. I got given a large scholarship to go there so I am seriously considering going there for undergrad. I am interested in a career in S&T but I know that Quinnipiac is a reasonably unheard of school. Does anyone know if it does very well in placing graduates into front office positions down on Wall Street? Any responses would be appreciated.
Heavy non target. I've seen a couple of kids in analysts roles at Mid Tier BBs in IB, but no idea for S&T. If you do well and network, ultimately anything is possible.. but it will be an uphill battle for sure.
It does not place well. What are your other options?
They have a slut bus that roles into New Haven on the weekends so their girls can get with Yale guys
They just party at Toads and it's brutal.
Im considering Fairfield, Fordham, Bryant, Saint Joesph's. My high school years didn't go so well due to some medical reasons so I don't have a great choice of where to go. If anything Fordham is the best I could possibly do. If I did some heavy networking, could getting internships and job offers from Quinnipiac be possible?
Everything is possible! You can also get a stellar GPA there, crash the GMAT and go for a 1-2 yrs MSc in a target European school with full merit based scholarship and then work in London (for instance). But it will be much harder...
I'd probably say Fordham then Fairfield out of those schools. As I mentioned above and what others have said, do well academically (3.8+ at least), have strong ECs, get involved in as much as you can, and network a lot, and anything is ultimately possible. Reach out to everyone and anyone.
Thanks for the replies. Im not too keen on doing an MBA or continuing my studies, I kind of just want to do my bachelors degree and then get into the job market
Why not uconn why all these overpriced private schools
I tried for quite a few state universities but there were unable to accept me. Im a smart guy, but like I said before I had some medical issues in high school so my grades aren't very good, Im lucky enough to get into the colleges I mentioned in my previous post.
Fordham without a doubt.
Fordham! I have a friend that went to Quinn for their UG degree in econ and went to do their MBA at JHU without any experience... although I don't think the corporate field looks at that very nicely but it seems pretty on paper haha
Specifically for S&T are you interested in trading for an institution or doing a prop firm? If you're going down the prop firm route I have a few friends who are in S&B capital that could give you advice.
I'd say im more interested in trading for an institution, preferably a Bulge Bracket bank but i wouldn't mind starting off in a boutique though.
Had a friend go there - she now works as a bartender and has a ton of debt. Bad choice IMO.
Quinnipiac on the street? (Originally Posted: 10/23/2012)
Quinnipiac is a small school in Connecticut (about 90 mins away from NYC) and has a decently good business program. Do many graduates go onto working in finance in New York? Would it be a good university to go if I wanted to work on Wall Street?
go to uconn not quinnipiac. youll save tons of money and have better branding
This. uconn has the advantage all around...
I know only a handful, not many at all. Most of the kids I know from Quinnipiac are Doctors in PT/AT
Beautiful campus, hood area. Gun Wavin' New Haven.
No.
you'll have a good time at quinnipiac, but everyone i know who went there had a tough time finding any work at all. of the kids i know, 2 are assistants at a hospital and the other is trying to get into grad school. would agree with the statement above re: uconn.
Oh, the women at quinnipiac...beautiful
