Questions as a high schooler looking forward to an IB career
Hello everyone I am in high school and I am looking into a career as an investment banker, I would also consider PE and VC and I have a few questions.
First off let me list all of my stats for applying to college 3.85 UW gpa 4.3 W gpa 34 ACT Band section leader
I want to go to college in the Boston area so I will be applying to BC, BU, NEU, Harvard (long shot), MIT, Brandies, Tufts, Bentley and Suffolk (Safety). How good are these schools for breaking into IB, what about PE and VC? I would prefer not to go to BU or NEU as they force you to live in campus freshmen and at NEU sophomore year.
If I end up having to go to Suffolk can I go to graduate school somewhere good and then break into IB?
Is it easy to get an IB job in Boston?
Is it easy to get a VC or PE job in
What is PE and VC pay like compared to IB?
I started trading at age 14 with 10k and I now have 50K but trading I only made 15K and I got started learning financial modeling at 15 but I am still no expert at it. Does this set me apart from other kids wanting to get into IB?
Ahh young grasshopper, get ready to be schooled by my WSO pals for being in high school. Put on a helmet, its gonna be a bumpy ride.
First of all, above comment is right, I'll be the first but not the last to tell you to go do anything else with your life but sit around and think about this all day. BUT, since you asked and somehow haven't figured this out from the search function on this website, why on god's green earth do you want to limit your college applications to the Boston area? The one thing you should gather from people talking about getting into IB if you've already heard about it in HS is that the pedigree of the school matters most at your current stage. So, don't limit yourself to location, expand your applications to good schools that will get you into IB. There are safety schools that still can help you fare well for summer analyst recruiting, and you can sure as hell bet they're not all in the Boston area.
Could you name some safety schools that can get you into IB? Are any of them in Boston? I am only familiar with the elite target schools. I did do a search but couldn't find any threads that gave me this info.
Any "safety schools" aren't going to get you into IB easily, unless its IU Kelley if you're in the IB Workshop. That's realistically the only easy school to get into.
Realistically though, people who get into the Workshop are only going to be kids in the top 10% of Kelley who could have gone to a target if they wanted.
Outside of Harvard and MIT. BC and tufts are Semi targets. Don’t worry too much about ib rn..not much you can do. Just get into the best possible school and worry about recruiting and everything then.
BC places better than most would think.
Boston College places Incredibly well to both NY and Boston offices. Every BB except MS does OCR at BC. They have Centerview and most other EB's do OCR/Resume drops.
