Regarding Rutgers University – New Brunswick for IB positions on Wall Street.
Hey everyone,
I am a new user here and I'm an incoming freshman this fall at Rutgers Business School in New Brunswick, New Jersey. I'm sure this question gets asked often but I was hoping to get an outlook on the following...
From what I have been told my whole life, the school you go to does not matter, but this seems to be the complete opposite with Wall Street, correct?
Additionally, I have heard a fair share of both positive and negative things about Rutgers University in regards to breaking into the investment banking industry. My networking skills are pretty top-notch and I know I am going to have to work my ass off, but are there any other skills and things that you guys may recommend to an 18-year old high school senior who has dreams to work in this field in the future?
Dude there are like 50,000 threads of this exact same nature for Rutgers. You will have to work harder than the average ivy student but you can definitely get into a bank and even a good one at that. Make sure you have a high GPA and show an interest in finance through clubs and organizations. Yes, school does matter but less than most think.
I'm a Rutgers grad and broke into IB, there were a +dozen kids in my class that broke in. Rutgers is a little different from typical non-targets in that there are a growing number of avenues to break in through the college.
Hope this helps, buddy. Good luck and enjoy your college years. :-)
