Seeking Advice on Undergraduate Pathways: Michigan CS + Ross Minor vs. NYU Stern BTE + CS/Math for VC Career
Hello WSO Community,
I'm an international student deciding between two undergraduate educational pathways and seeking your advice on which might best align with my aspirations in venture capital. Below are the options I'm considering:
- University of Michigan: Pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science from the School of Engineering, with plans to minor in Business through Ross. I need to apply for the minor after enrollment, but based on acceptance rates and alumni discussions, my admission seems promising.
- NYU Stern: Enrolling in a B.S. in Business Technology and Entrepreneurship (BTE) and considering a double major in Computer Science or Mathematics. Feedback from alumni indicates that a double major is manageable.
Career Aspiration: My ultimate goal is to enter the venture capital sector. I understand that starting directly as a VC analyst is not the typical path, so I am contemplating the following career trajectories:
- NYU Path: Start in Investment Banking -> Move to VC/MBA
- Michigan Path: Begin in Consulting (MBB) or Investment Banking -> Transition to VC/MBA
Given these points, could you share insights or experiences regarding the recruitment process, networking opportunities, and overall preparation for VC that each option might offer? Your guidance will be invaluable as I make this decision.
Thank you in advance!
