<p>So I plan on going to UF or UCF to get a bachelors degree in finance. I am dual enrolled so I attend both high school and college at the same time. I am a senior. I will be getting my associates degree by the end of the fall semester 2014. After that I will transfer to hopefully UF. If/when I get my bachelors in finance at UF, I want to transfer to a top tier business school. I was thinking NYU maybe. Idk if I would be able to get into harvard or Stanford or a school like that being that those schools are extremely hard to get into and the money you have to pay is a lot obviously. I just think NYU would be the safest bet. Is NYU a good target school for hedge funds? I want to eventually work in a hedge fund but I understand that usually after you graduate you go in an investment banking program for a bit. Usually about 2 years and then you go into a hedge fund. Can anyone give me any advice about my career path?</p>
<p>I’ve seen on this website that many people feel that NYU is a huge target school but is that true? And if so who targets NYU?</p>
<p>Wiggins the card player?</p>
<p>Wiggins the bball player? I thought you go to Kansas?</p>
<p>I think your plan needs to be reevaluated. Its very difficult to get into investment banking. Adding 2 years after an associate’s degree will not compare favorably to kids who spend 4 years at elite colleges. Also, most people work for 4-5 years before going back for an MBA. Everything after your first job everything is a crapshoot; its not easy to get into hedge funds but many do.</p>
