<p>Do you know if any financial firms/investment banks recruit on campus or come to job fairs or anything?</p>
<p>anybody have any info?</p>
<p>Man…this question has been debated in this forum too many times already…I’d suggest you to google search it in order to find the really old threads in this forum…</p>
<p>skateboarder, didn’t you already ask this question?</p>
<p>Twice?</p>
<p>And for that matter, as I’ve noticed you posting in other areas that you’re looking to transfer out of Tufts as soon as possible, why do you even care?</p>
<p>You shouldn’t go to Tufts. There’s just no way you could enjoy yourself there at this point; without setting foot on campus you’ve already decided to hate it, and with a mindset like that it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy. And you won’t do well academically at a school you hate. You would do best, at this point, to take a gap year or gap semester. Travel, work, do something.</p>
<p>i’m really just bipolar at this point. I’ve noticed that i only second guess myself whenever i’m around CC, so maybe i should leave this place.</p>
<p>and i might have asked it, but I don’t remember getting a clear answer or any specifics.</p>
<p>[Your</a> thread](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/tufts-university/708860-tufts-graduate-school.html]Your”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/tufts-university/708860-tufts-graduate-school.html) on Tufts and b-school/alumni network. Perhaps it was a different poster who asked about career fairs etc. I’ll find it.</p>
<p>[No</a>, it was you.](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/tufts-university/717677-curious.html]No”>curious - Tufts University - College Confidential Forums) </p>
<p>Though to be fair, that time you specifically said not just in the financial sector. But between the two threads, I personally feel that I’ve addressed your question.</p>
<p>You know who thinks that firms take one look at the name of the college you attended and make a final decision based on that? High school students. Luckily, relatively few high school students are running major financial firms (though it’s hard to imagine the the financial system failing so massively if they were).</p>
<p>When you get right down to the numbers, Tufts won’t rank highly in terms of percentage of graduates who end up in high finance, because relatively few of us have any interest.
But you do have interest. So it’s not clear to me why you’re taking a population sample of kids who want to work in the non-profit, public, and entrepreneurial sectors, and trying to extrapolate data on your own life based on that.
A better, more useful ratio for you to study is the proportion of Tufts students who WANT to work in finance that actually get jobs or internships in finance.
Since you clearly don’t give a **** what I say, why don’t you e-mail the Portfolio Manager of the Tufts Finance Group, [Chris Cerrone](<a href=“Tufts University”>Tufts University). He’s a good kid, a gifted analyst, and he’s had an internship in finance every summer. Since he essentially runs TFG, he’d have a good idea of who is getting hired and where.</p>
<p>Since when have I said I don’t care what you say?</p>
<p>Oh I don’t take it personally; you’re just freaking out about your college decision. It’s just that all your Tufts questions keep getting answered and you keep having them.</p>
<p>Yes. You can go into finance from Tufts. Yes. Definitively, yes. Many have done it, many will continue to do it. Yes.</p>
<p>Any specific names of firms that you have seen come to campus? In all honesty banking doesn’t really interest me, I just want it there as an option.</p>
<p>I vouch Snarf. All of your posts have a huge, blatant undertone that basically reads, “I can’t wait to get the **** out of Tufts.” And again agree with the idea of a gap year. It’ll be a lot more productive, and you won’t have the inevitable trouble that transfers usually run into when having to “re-develop” relations with professors at your new school in order for you to ultimately look back on them when you’re applying to business school – or I should say only Harvard Business school, anything else can’t possibly meet your standards.</p>
<p>I don’t see how me asking about how tufts undergrads do in banking implies that I would only accept HBS.</p>
<p>Oh…go easy on the guy…everybody hates somethin… I hate tomatoes…</p>
<p>I hate tomatoes too. Same with onions</p>
<p>Yeah…I hate onions too…they give bad breath…</p>
<p>Totally agree with Snarf and Acceptd. You will be miserable at Tufts, Skateboarder! Why don’t you save you and your parents some money and just do a gap year and re-apply elsewhere next year?? Tufts is a fabulous place and many people would give their right arm to go there. It will be totally wasted on someone like you who seems hell-bent on hating the place.</p>
<p>I’m not a student or alumnus of Tufts but I know quite a bit about the school. I’ve been reading posts from skateboarder and lightbearer since admissions decisions were announced and I have to say, in a charitable way, that each of them has a serious attitude problem which (hopefully) will change quickly. Skateboarder, who purports to be so concerned about Tufts’ prestige and reputation among the CC community, posts derogatory, disingenuous, and prejudicial comments about the school that do nothing but undermine Tufts’ perceived reputation among readers. And the idea of needing to know whether banking and financial institutions interview at Tufts only because you want to keep such a career open “as an option” strikes me as ludicrous. As for lightbearer, crowing that he got accepted off the waiting list “with a full $55000 in financial aid!” and then denigrating Tufts’ engineering school (while maintaining that he intends to use the same as a base in America to aim for the ivies in postgraduate management) seems to me to be exceedingly arrogant and confused at the same time. Perhaps the other US universities that rejected him did not do so because of his need for financial aid, after all.</p>
<p>Many - if not most - pre-freshman are nervous and anxious about attending highly selective colleges and measuring up against class members with similar stellar academic accomplishments. While its probably normal for others to be cocky and self-inflated about their abilities, the first year or so of school has a way of equalizing and adjusting students’ perceptions about reality. It will be interesting to see whether skateboarder and lightbearer - if they do attend and stay at Tufts - look back at their posts from 2009 three years from now and wonder… what was I thinking!?</p>
<p>I don’t think either of us were ever being cocky. Whatever though.</p>
<p>I’m done with this website. See some of you in a week!</p>
<p>‘denigrating Tufts’ engineering school’…huh ??
I’d like you to quote where I said so…
In fact…I’ve been trying to encourage people to apply to Tufts…even in the international forum…and, I’ve been nice to everyone…including skateboarder…
And how could you say that I have an inflated opinion when I ask for Snarf’s advice when choosing my major…
Perhaps you were offended when I said that maybe I should choose IR over engineering at Tufts… but it was only because the Tufts IR program is the best in the world… and I’m fairly flexible about my career options…
‘crowing about the $ 55,000 fa’ part… I mentioned it only once in the Tufts 2013 forum…perhaps you didn’t notice that I also said ‘off the waitlist’ in the same post… and that was just after I got the email confirming it…
Seems to me like you’re just a sexually frustrated middle aged bald man whose third obese wife just divorced him over an affair with the plumber… probably because you never went to Tufts…</p>
