Decided I'm going to apply to b-school to start in Fall 2017. Trying to decide which schools to apply to. I live in North Carolina, so Duke or UNC Chapel Hill would be ideal. Not sure if I can get into a top 10, but I think I can get into a top 15. I want to do Investment Banking.
Profile: -Experience: Big 4 Advisory (3.5 years). About to start new accounting role with a large bank, doing financial reporting, bank capital calculation/analysis (Basel). UG: Large state school UG GPA: 3.3 Major: Double major in Finance & Accounting Extracurriculars: various activities in UG Hobbies: ice hockey, wine, fitness/running, hiking/camping/outdoors GMAT: TBD (aiming for 700+)
GMAT will have to be over 700. You should get post UG volunteer experience. You need to come up with a very good story, there are tons of risk management people applying for business school, need a differentiation of why a particular school and why IB.
Investment banks will recruit at top 15 schools (Duke definitely, not sure about Chapel Hill). Other than Duke. consider schools such as UVA Darden, NYU Stern, Cornell Johnson, MIchigan Ross.
Reach out to current student / alumni of different bschools and ask this question: Do investment banks recruit on your campus for IBD?
