small liberal arts school during undergrad - working at a financial services data provided for the past 4 years. my gmat is at 680 if that helps frame the type of b-school I might be able to get into.
Have you retaken the GMAT to bump that score up?
To break into IB, S&T, AM, MC or F500:
Good luck. Break into a top company.
Then gain a few years’ experience, hit it high with GMAT/GRE and get into an M7 MBA program?
Bump
Network ur ass off! Ground your technicals, and keep up with the current news, as the above comment said. You got this!
Evercore welcomes all candidates from ivy league schools.
network religiously, grind interview prep, get involved on campus, maintain high GPA. that’s it that’s the tweet
Be social (aka network but reach out and make meaningful connections - not just a ton of crappy ones), show your passion for finance (join an investment club, invest for yourself, get certifications, do research, TA, etc.), and like others said, be ready for the interview (have your story down, know your accounting and modeling and whatnot, etc.).
I came from a non-target student-athlete background and made it into a MM coverage group and accepted the return offer. Non-target is not the end of the world like people make it out to be.
Believe me it's all netwoking. I interned at a Top EB (PJT, EVR, Greenhill) this summer and am returning FT. Believe me. A 3.7+ GPA, 1-2 finance internships and solid networking is all you need.
Curious how you networked with those EB's. Was it a lot of cold emailing or did you have an alum who you connected well with and he/she really pulled for you?
Could you provide more colour on how you broke in?
