<p>So I go to CC right now, my plan is to transfer to temple by fall 2013, but realistically, I'll be at temple in the spring of 2014. I graduate in 2015. </p>
<p>My other list of schools are PA state schools such as (West Chester, Kutz, Shippensburg, Lock haven), Holy Family, Pitt, and Rutgers.</p>
<p>I'm almost sure all these are non target schools. So what's the most a finance major could look forward or expect graduating from one of these schools? </p>
<p>I haven't officially declared Finance as my major, as it's Accounting right now. But depending how my managerial accounting course goes, I'll choose from that point on what I want to do.</p>
<p>Strong bump but I’d like to know this as well</p>
<p>As a student at a non-target, except to be doing accounting at a big 4 firm or a back-office banking role. Its very, very tough to get into trading or banking if you’re coming from a non-target.</p>
<p>I’m not really interested in investment banking. I’ve heard they work crazy hours though making very good money, and on top of that, I’ve read to get into investment banking it’s ideal to come from a target, which I won’t be coming from a target. So yeah, I was thinking outside of banking, well investment banking.</p>
<p>“It’s very tough to get into banking if you’re coming from a non-target.”</p>
<p>Not true. Regional boutiques/wealth management corps hire from non-targets, and regional commercial banks hire from non-targets / lower-tier students from targets. I mean, if we’re talking about JPMorgan or Barclays or GS then, yes. But, because you aren’t even in college yet, your perception of the banking world is limited to that so I can see why you say that.</p>
<p>^ I was using “banking” to refer to “investment banking” in my previous post. Sorry for not being more specific.</p>
