Starting my undergrad at SUNY Stony Brook
Hi guys, I'm will be starting my college at SUNY SB in Business(Finance) major. I aspire to be an Investment banker at EB or BB firms. I want some advice from current interns or employees on how should I plan my college and get ready for IB as a student at a Non-Target School. Just consider this as what would you do if you were to begin your college again, what mistakes would you try to avoid..

That's insightful, I'd keep that in mind.
How did you manage to get that first finance internship and how to target the ones which can give relevant experience for a future M&A banker.
Leave SBU.
you are the second person to suggest me that, can I know the reason?
What are some potential universities to transfer to?
Super weak IB alumni base. I rather you go to a school like Baruch or Fordham in NYC for better chances. Highly recommend starting your transfer apps asap ato semi-targets/targets.
Why, knowing you want to do IB, go into college at a non-target?
Thats the thing I would change personally I would of discovered IB sooner so I didnt have do 15x the work at my non target to break into a BB than my target friends had to do.
That's really awakening,
I chose SBU because it was affordable(I come from a middle income family) and near to NYC. But, Now I plan to transfer to target or semi-target.
If SBU is affordable then Baruch is even more affordable
I went to a similar school in NY and ended up transferring to a semi-target school. I would recommend doing the same. Recruiting was much easier and the school opened more opportunities for me.
Yea, I'd transfer if you are set on IB.
I would do NYU, Fordham, Baruch, Pace / St.John’s/ Hofstra if you are dead set on being in the City and ranked by better chance at taking a shot in IB. Otherwise, strongly encourage you explore schools outside of NYC.
