Schools
The thing with this is that I only wanna go to good schools that lead to good jobs in finance. otherwise, I might as well just stay in India. I don’t care particularly about fit or rigor as I can handle both. I would prefer to go down the IB pipeline, but any high finance job is a target for me. I would prefer not to go to a isolated college, but I am willing to go if its a good school.
Please chance/match me for schools I can apply to? If you need any more info, please feel free to ask me. My parents are completely unfamiliar with the collegge process, so it is a bit difficult for me. seeking your help.
