<p>Heres my dilemma. Its my dream to become an investment banker and then continue on to hedge funding. Does the undergrad college make a huge difference?</p>

<p>I got a full trustee scholarship to Bentley but I would have to pay full tuition 50k+ for NYU and BC. So in terms of saving money, Bentley is the way to go. but, im worried that would look bad when im applying for a job. Is it worth it to spend all that money going to those schools or is there little difference? </p>

<p>Im confident that I can keep close to a 4.0 GPA at any of these schools.</p>

<p>Thanks for your input.</p>

<p>Stern - and don’t be confident you can keep close to a 4.0 until you get to the college. Every single student at these top schools believes this.</p>

<p>@above, you didnt even answer my question…</p>

<p>From the point of IB recruiting, Stern gets the most among these three. But even from there an IB gig is never guaranteed. You can also save this money for a good MBA program which will give you better opportunities to break into banking.
Needless to say, but maintaining a 4.0 is almost impossible no matter how smart and organized you are.</p>

<p>But I’d just like to know what field of business do most Bentley graduates go into. It’s ranked among the top business schools in the country, but it doesn’t seem to have a lot of people going into IB or finance in general.</p>

<p>Keep in mind these statistics are from May 2008, probably one of the worst years in history to look for a job.</p>

<p>That’s not bad. 28% of the school goes into finance. I’m surprised the school doesn’t come up much in this forum.</p>
