WHICH COLLEGE IS BEST? PLEASE HELP! CLASS OF 2028
Hey all! I just got my results for college applications back and was wondering if everyone could tell me the one with best opportunities for high finance front office roles. Also, if there is a specific club in that school that is that school's engine into IB or high finance, is it a make or break into high finance if I don't get into that club? Thanks. In high school, I didn't do so well (4.0-ish GPA but with a 1340 SAT score) which is to explain why there are no proper targets. Thanks. I also included my resume for tips and if it helps anyone give tips on which college to join. Also, I am not an international student (to clarify any questions with my resume which I added below)
OSU (Fisher Business School Direct Admit)
FORDHAM UNIVERSITY (Gabelli School of Business Admit)
RUTGERS BUSINESS SCHOOL (Newark)
MIAMI UNIVERSITY (Farmer School of Business Direct Admit)
BARUCH (honestly not my top choice, put her more as a safety)
IU (Waiting to hear from Kelley)
I'm still waiting to hear back from Penn State, Southern Methodist University, UT-Austin McCombs, Notre Dame, UVA, and a few more, but I am less optimistic about getting admitted to the last three.
By the way, I pre-dated two of the positions because I am mandated to stay in them until I finish. Also, I will be class of 29'. I am deferring my entry due to military service obligations
IU Kelly does well with IB placements, same with ND and UT. Can’t speak to the others. You’ll be fine wherever you go, just network, study, and don’t be a bot.
Noted. Thanks!
Probably Fordham IMO
Thanks! Any reasons why?
Miami Farmer is underrated. Worked with a lot of these guys and it amazes me how well they place across the street. Their IB club isn’t IBW-level, but with good prep you can land a solid MM or even BB EB.
Huge William Blair pipeline. Also Ik a few at EVR
Awesome. Thanks so much. Would their club be a make or break? As in, does the school’s ability to place into IB only come into play with the joining of their IB club?
UVA McIntire *** plz fix
My apologies
Not a UVA grad but from the area. UVA McIntire is one of the freest tickets to Wall Street (apart from H/Y/P/S/W). The alumni culture is incredibly strong and even profs at McIntire are well connected to the industry. However, you do have to get into McIntire which is only a 2 year programme and admissions is rather rigorous. Have heard UVA Econ grads also placing decently well. Otherwise IU Kelley.
On another note, how is someone a summer analyst at an HF in High School. What could you possibly be doing apart from paper pushing.
Alright. Thanks for the info about UVA! Hoping to get in.
as for the internship, my dad’s wedding photographer knew the portfolio manager and so I was able to get an interview and I learnt stuff on the spot from the analysts there
(this is my other account)
If you’re admitted into any of these I’d go with this:
UVA
McCombs
ND
Kelley
In that order.
If not, I’d do Fordham because being in NYC helps or IU and grind to transfer into Kelley
Thanks. How is Kelley without the IBW. Obviously I will apply but without IBW is it basically a non target?
