SMU vs Indiana vs Fordham for IB
I'm deciding where to do my finance undergrad to try and break into IB and right now my best options are SMU, Indiana, and Fordham. I also got into UW-Madison and Villanova, but right now my best shots at IB are the previous three. I also got into the business school of every university.
Which one would be the best choice to break into IB, excluding the Investment Banking Workshop at Kelley or the SMU alts program at Cox? I don't want to choose a university only for it to become an absolute non-target if I don't get into the specialized program. I hear both of those are extremely hard to get into, and even if Kelley is still a top 20 business school, from what I've found, without the IBW, you're pretty much cooked for IB.
Probably Indiana still all things considered.
Fordham’s proximity to Wall Street gives you optionality if you can hustle even though the program itself isn’t much to write home about.
SMU is pointless if you don’t do Alts and even then it’s a Houston only school. Alts pretty much gets you a Houston offer but by and large NYC and west coast is still shuttered off to you.
Indiana without a doubt. The IBW backups (IBS, CMBW, etc) have equal if not not better placements than any of the other schools you mentioned and are not very hard to get into if in Kelley. And upside potential (getting into IBW) is exponentially higher than any other school mentioned.
