<p>Hello guys, I was just wondering what undergraduate schools you all think will provide me with the best resources to get into investment banking, yet still having a good chance to getting into (so I doubt any Ivy leagues lol)! Currently, I go to Drexel University, which I only chose because I applied as a biology major since I had not started loving finance until this past summer meaning that it was too late to change my college and major for the first term. But now I am thinking of transferring, but I do not specifically know where I can get into that would be as much of a target school for investment banking as possible. If it helps, I had a 3.74 GPA in high school and a 2080 SAT. My first term in college (which was as a bio major), I was still able to pull off a 3.703. Second term, so my first term as a business major, I got a 4.0 so my average became 3.84. This term is about to finish so final grades havent been put in, but overall I project my freshman GPA to be atleast 3.8+. The schools I am primarily interested in are:
Northwestern University
University of Southern California
University of Penn - Econ
Rutgers University
Penn State
Indiana University - Kelley School of Business
University of Wisconsin - Madison
Villanova University
University Of Texas - Austin
NYU Stern
So CC, what would you guys chance me at those schools and if there are any other target schools I have not mentioned that I may have a decent chance to get into, please do not hesitate to mention them to me! I have attached my resume as well since I think it would help in determining what target/semi-target schools I would have the best chance to get into.</p>

<p>Once again, thanks again!</p>
<p>Bump!!! Any one please?</p>
<p>Most of those schools aren’t even investment banking target schools. You probably will not get into UPenn. Even if you get into Stern, everyone there wants to go into investment banking and not many people get jobs when compared to the amount of people vying for a spot. Northwestern is a target but it is very hard to transfer to. The rest aren’t really popular for recruiting. I advise you to try for UVA. They have a large amount of people on wall street and you could get in perhaps.</p>
<p>I would like to say that most of those schools are target schools according to this list that no one has had any objections to. <a href=“The Comprehensive List of Transfer Friendly Schools For Investment Banking | Wall Street Oasis”>The Comprehensive List of Transfer Friendly Schools For Investment Banking | Wall Street Oasis;
<p>But thanks alot for your input and I will definitely look into UVA but I am afraid I might have to apply as a econ major, which is something I really do not want to do.</p>
<p>I have also added in:
Cornell University
Colgate University
Villanova Unviversity
Boston College</p>
<p>In general, I think ibanking aspirants should aim for the Ivies, MIT, Stanford, Chicago, Duke, and Georgetown. UVA, UMich, NYU Stern are all very good too. </p>
<p>Thanks for more input! I know those schools are the best for investment banking, but I know that realistically, I have a slim chance into getting into schools like NYU Stern, Stanford, Ivies and etc. especially considering I’m applying as a transfer. My list is most comprised of schools that I have a realistic chance of getting into as well as a couple of reach schools such as NYU Stern and UPenn, but I have also included some safety schools like Penn State and Rutgers.</p>
<p>Remember guys, I am applying as a transfer student meaning that some statistics regarding the schools I can get into may be different.</p>
