<p>95% chance goldman sachs will offer you a junior analyst position sometime before you graduate this senior year…of high school.</p>

<p>@theyoungboi- hahaha</p>

<p>@OP- Is this supposed to be a chance thread? :D</p>

<p>all of those schools get recruits. Brown students tend to not be interested in banking, nevertheless bulge brackets still recruit there for those who are interested</p>

<p>Engineers have a good chance from those schools with a 3.0+ GPA</p>

<p>Gotta love ■■■■■■. Please say I wasn’t the only one who caught the Wall Street reference in the OP’s name.</p>

5

<p>^haha everybody loves Gecko</p>

6

<p>Haha I’m not ■■■■■■■■… Are my stats really that impressive?</p>

7

<p>^My stats are more impressive so no. ;)</p>

8

<p>Is it just me or is there a very high concentration of ******bags in the IB forum?</p>

<p>@OP</p>

<p>It is possible, though engineers tend to go more toward S&T rather than straight up investment banking. </p>

<p>As a general statement though, to have a higher chance of getting into banking depends more on your school than your major.</p>

10

<p>well you did just put a “chance me” thread in the IB forum. How the hell are we supposed to know your chances for IB if you’re still in high school?</p>

<p>And no offense, but the username make it look like you saw Wall Street a few months ago and decided IB awas the best way ot make fast money. </p>

<p>And Gordon Gekko does LBOs, not investment banking</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>He didn’t buy anybody out in the movie, he was just a trader.</p>

12

<p>Why not stay with engineering ? Banking is iffy , and the newest hires are the first ones laid off !</p>

13

<p>First of all Gordon Gekko is a fictionalized character so his exact job title is ambiguous. Although it seems he’s a PE guy that does a lot of prop trading.</p>

14

<p>it’s *sheep get slaughtered *</p>

15

<p>sheep get slaughtered was too long, so I had to modify it.</p>

<p>“The bulls make money the bears make money, the sheep they get slaughtered”
Wall Street, an excellent source of sensational and quote-worthy dialogues. And I am just gonna watch the damned DVD again tonight lol</p>
