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.

Stay in India imao. Your stats are terrible and you have no chance in the usa. maybe apply to university of minnesota if you are so desperate for that green card.

Okay, I will keep that in mind. Should I look a the college cds and choose accordingly or just not report it either-ways?

So apparently this is not a serious post since the above users are sock puppets of one another. Closing.
