best university to become a trader

Hello everyone, I am French and I want to be a trader in a big bank on Wall Street or in a hedge fund (I know I am quite ambitious! šŸ˜…) I was accepted for the bachelor's degree in maths at epfl and in the preparatory class for the "Grandes ecoles" such as polytechnique, central Paris,... I was also accepted for the Maths-Info license at Dauphine. What do you recommend that I do ? thanks in advance.

Go to prepa grand Ecole keep pushing then HEC/ESSEC or X, Centrale then youā€™re good to make billions

 

Donā€™t ask on this forum they donā€™t know anything about the French school system.Ā

Ce que je te conseillerais cā€™est de partir en prepa si il sā€™agit dā€™une top prepa et que tu ressens le besoin de souffrir pendant 2 - 3 ans. En rĆ©alitĆ©, tu nā€™auras aucun bĆ©nĆ©fice Ć  faire une classe prepa mise Ć  part si ta prepa envoie rĆ©guliĆØrement des Ć©lĆØves dans les top Ć©coles car si jamais tu souhaites tout de mĆŖme intĆ©grer une top Ć©cole dā€™ingĆ©nieur ou top Ć©cole de commerce tu pourras le faire plus facilement avec lā€™EPFL ou Paris Dauphine. Soit dit en passant, tu peux Ć©galement finir trader avec les masters de Paris Dauphine (203, 272, MagistĆØre BFA etc ā€¦)Ā 

 

Lol Iā€™m French, Iā€™m not even saying that he shouldnā€™t ask on this forum to trash talk, itā€™s an extremely good ressource for advice regarding finance itā€™s just that this forum is more centered around the British / American school system.
