Additional information: target, >3.9 GPA
General advice:
- Read The Bond Buyer (or just headlines) and know what's going on in the market in regards to interest rates, the Fed, 10-year Treasury rates, etc. and how that influences the municipal market
- Practice basic bond math: tax-equivalent yield, inverse relationship between price and yield, time value of money
- Understand what public finance is: why do people/who invests in municipal bonds, general obligation vs. revenue bonds, risks or factors to consider, trends in the industry)
- Nail the "why public finance" and "why X bank" question: emphasize the impact of the industry and tie it to your background & mention some people and/or an issuance at the bank you're applying to
