Umich Econ VS. Fordham U Gabllie Finance
Hello guys,
I need some help. I am an international student. Used to study in Marquette U finance, right now, in UIUC econ undergrad progam, and the econ program in UIUC sucks. I applied transferring to
Umich econ,
fordham,
William and Mary,
Brandeis,
UTA McCombs,
USC.
Except umich is econ program, other schools are all business. So far, I only got umich econ and fordham, and I am waiting for rest of them. I really want to go to BB. Which school can give the best chance to achieve my goal? Anyone can help me rank them?
Thank you very much!
-------------------
Also, I talked with my finance professor in UIUC. She said a person who only has finance skills is difficult to get into BB, the person has to have some CS skills. She suggested me get financial engineering for master degree. What do you guys think?

This is a big question. Is econ major in target school easier to break into BB than finance major in non-target school like Fordham? Thank you guys.
double transfer? jesus
I know it's crazy, but I have to do this.
Are you talking graduate or undergraduate? I can tell you that the Fordham MBA is really lacking (I'm in it) and that UofM would be better, especially if you could possible swing something to get into Ross for a dual major or something.
If this is undergrad, Fordham's undergrad program is way better than their graduate program in the same business school, which is awesome for them, because the graduate students are basically subsidizing the undergraduate program. I'd recommend going there for undergrad as if necessary, you'd be in a situation to be able to work an unpaid internship or something if all else fails, where as you don't have that opportunity in Michigan.
This is undergrad. Is Fordham U target school for famous IB?
I wouldn't say it's famous, nor would I say it's a target, but their OCR seems to be a lot better for undergrad than it does for their graduate program. I'd say Semi-target? One thing that helps you out a lot is if you are unable to do a BB summer or something like that, in a last ditch effort you are able to do an unpaid internship somewhere in NYC because you'll already be living here.
USC UMich UTAustin would be targets; but wanting to go to BB requires a lot more than getting a BBA/Econ at a target school. As UG schools, they're pretty easy to rank, and you aren't spending time for it.
UIUC Econ may not be so strong, but it is a lot better than many places alright, don't dream your next school like heaven.
Just you wait, interviewers for any jobs will probably ask you "Why did you transfer twice"
Well it's easy to avoid that question. You just don't put the other schools on your resume.
Academic and/or Grad school Interviews request your transcripts often enough. then it becomes a hard question when you're ask about "why did you choose this school?".... well, i chose it after choosing a few more times before...lol
yes, only finance skills is noe enough
corporate finance - people (including team) skills and analytical skills, (towards MFIN) risk management- "quant"- programming skills. (Towards MFE)
MFE and MFin are pretty different things despite some overlaps, but CS skills would obviously help, because it shows that you're a geeky person, and that coding requires good logics--logical and analytical abilities would be good with coders
Thank you for your reply. Very appreciate.
