Weighing in on Undergraduate Options
Hello everybody, I'm a high school senior and am weighing my options for college next year. I have narrowed it down to the following schools: Rice, Boston College, and Emory. Any advice and responses to the questions below is both welcomed and greatly appreciated.
With the goal of going into IBing in mind, which of the three schools would you choose and why?
How much recruitment is done at these schools? Would the Boston based banks overlook BC students for those of other more impressive local universities, such as Harvard and MIT?
Would the notoriety of a Rice or Emory degree be restricted to their respective region or would employers in the northeast be equally as impressed?
Does salary vary per region? With all things being equal, does the analyst in Houston make as much as the analyst on Wall Street?
Would working in an energy group pigeon hole me into a specific line of work?
Would getting a top MBA at a school in a different region allow me to relocate to what ever that region is?
Well that's all I could think of for now. Once again, any and all advice/responses is welcomed and greatly appreciated. Thanks a ton guys.
Edit: GOLDEN BANANA to any posters who are especially helpful
Still looking for a little insight, to give you guys an incentive I'll give a gold banana to posters who are especially helpful. Thanks.
If you want to do IB and don't care were then do Rice and work in Houston. I think Rice and UT-A do extremely well down there. Will you get pigeon holed, probably.
BC is a solid school and will get you on the street if you do well and network. I think you will be able to intern in Boston pretty easily. BC is to Boston what Villanova is to Philly.
Harvard/ MIT are amazing schools, but I am sure most people who go to such a prestigious pair of schools will try and maximize their returns by going to NYC/LA/ overseas, whatever. If anything, BC people will be looked at a lot since it is reasonable that a lot of BC people will stay in the area vs move away. Not fact, just opinion.
Rice/Emory are great schools, but I think you will find a lot of people in other regions not knowing what the schools are or how good they are.
Top MBA's will allow you to do whatever you want. Top 10 programs are know all over the US as well as internationally. You will be fine.
Why are you down to these schools? You can get into IB from any school if you work hard enough, and I don't think any are particular targets, at least for NYC. I wouldn't say any of these 3 are fun schools either...
I'm down to these three schools because they are the schools I have been accepted to and am considering seriously.
^Emory is very fun, intelligent crowd and the kids like to have a good time, very hot chicks too
