Will Wall Street hire me???

I'm graduating with a degree in economics from University of Pennsylvania next spring. I'm basically a B student; I have a few A's, mostly in math courses, but my econ courses are mostly B or B-. Will Wall Street hire me? Or, do they only want A students. I'm really hoping to be an analyst on Wall Street. I'm also looking to get a master's, maybe in applied math or Applied Economics. Any input will be helpful. Thanks!

 

Actually, I heard from a JPMC recruiter that Wharton was being removed from its target list. So as long as you're applying to other BBs you're golden. Also never sip cocktails with a stir straw. That got a kid axed even though he did really good in the interviews. Apparently he wasn't cool enough to hang with the crew. He was from a target (HYP).

I drink coffee in the morning through a stirring straw. Will that reduce my chances of a return offer? It's really hot and I don't want to burn myself, but I'll take a scalded tongue over no offer.

Also, I only have a few days left. Will it be too late for me to change?

 

No Wall Street wont hire you, but the potential that a firm on Wall Street hires you is pretty slim....

Are you serious?

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.

I think you'll be fine.
