Silv Ban: Which nontarget should I go to??
This is a temporary account just for this question. I have another, more active account.
I got accepted into Indiana University Kelly School of Business and UC Davis. I couldn't get into any targets because of my gpa during my sophomore year.
However, I am interested in finance and want to know which school I should choose that would have the best prospects.
UC Davis
or
Indiana University Kelly Business
PS. Since this is just a temporary account, I'll give out my SBs for some good advice.
I would try to look into alumni base on wall street if you can (linked in etc)
why couldn't you ask from your "active" account
The mid-tier UCs (San Diego, Irvine, Santa Barbara, Davis) place a few kids into the top firms every year and a handful of people into regional offices, but those students have to be REALLY on the ball.
Not knowing your personality or how you fit in at each school: In general, only consider Davis if you want to be in San Francisco (maybe LA), even then it's a toss-up. If you want to work ANYWHERE else in the US, I would go with Kelley.
Indiana and I wouldn't consider it a non-target
Mid tier UCs transfer into top UCs/other schools all the time. Take easy classes, get As, and get good recs. Like HS+2 for you.
^^^ Another EXCELLENT option. LA and Berkeley only hold transfer spots for Community College and other UC students. Try to get into Haas if you can, but make sure you're aware of the required classes you have to take transfer in. That being said, Econ, Math, Statistics, Computer Science, etc. from Berkeley or LA will give you a fighting shot.
If you get "stuck" at Davis and the transfer doesn't work out, make sure you major in Managerial Econ.
IU Kelley School of Business; it can accurately be described as a semi-target.
Get into their Investment Banking Workshop, which has near 100% placement, and includes BBs in both Chicago and NY.
Look, you'll be stepping onto campus Day 1 with Wall Street in mind, so you know the background you need to develop (3.5+ GPA, relevant extracurricular activities, etc.). That should be enough to get you into the workshop.
As a mid-tier UC grad, I would not recommend Davis unless you planned on going the transfer route. Davis is great for certain things (like Bio) but most of their biz/econ classes have an agricultural focus. My sister currently attends Davis, so I know. Can't say much about Indiana, but their biz program is somewhat reputable. If it is indeed a semi-target, then you are likely better off there.
None. They all suck balls, better off getting a job at McDonalds straight from college.
Kelly would be my vote. That and to teabag dukeofduke.
a bigger of fan of the sew your asshole closed and keep feeding you and feeding you and feeding you...method...
oh yeah and Indiana by a country fucking mile
Kelley places well, especially that workshop they have. Far stronger option in my opinion.
Does anyone know how competitive it is to get into the workshop? And is kelly worth it if I'm out of state?
I would go to UC Davis. Get good grades and transfer to UCLA or Berkeley. That would be the ultimate. You are a cali resident (i assume) so this would be the smartest route. I am a transfer myself
OK Midas I see you, bumpin that Method man
kelley
Dude, somebody just told you there's near 100% placement in the IB workshop. Suppose half of those are at BB's. I'll take those odds any day over going to Davis and then transferring. You'll be plugged in right away at Indiana so you can get to work. If you transfer, you'll have to prove yourself to the relevant finance and leadership organizations all over again.
I would agree with those that said Kelley. Solid business program that is well regarded and from a risk tolerance perspective is arguably the much safer choice. No guarantees either way, but if you get in early and get into the workshop as others mentioned you will develop the skills needed to get anywhere on your own. Add to that the strong network Kelley has in Chicago and some sporadic yet quality Analysts in NY and other regional offices and you have a background easily comparable to Haas. Whether you want to roll the dice and try to save some money by transferring into Haas and having to do additional networking because no one knows you there and you're late to the game is up to you. Personally, I'd say go to Kelley and get at it from day one, although the whether will suck compared to SoCal...
indiana kelly is a semi-target that places top kids into chicago IB... it's not a GREAT place to be, but you'll have a chance coming from IU.... major in finance & accounting and make sure your GPA is good and you'll be alright.
I haven't seen many people in the industry from UC Davis.
