<p>I’m not sure about placement, but I do know that Michigan’s GRAD program in FE is not very good, relatively speaking – Michigan’s average starting salary is much lower than most of the (few) FE programs out there. This is not taking into account programs like Financial Math, Financial Economics, Quantitative Finance, etc. If I had to guess, I would say that Michigan undergrad does very well with placement, being as we have very strong math and Comp. Sci. programs. (You’ll obviously have to do well.) Don’t do IOE if you want to do FE for grad school. Double major in Math/Financial Math and Comp. Sci. It also would be beneficial to work for a year or two, but that is only a plus for FE programs, not a prerequisite like it is for MBA.</p>
