<p>I was reading on Forbes, 30 under 30. Most of these people in their late twenties who became extremely successful had undergraduate degrees from IVY leagues. Often they were even in unrelated business degrees yet still scored positions at top IB firms.</p>
<p>I am concerned because I am planning on getting a BBA in Finance from University of Texas McCombs, would it be hard to become as successful because I am from the south and McCombs is not an Ivy? I am planning on getting a Finance degree, getting work experience, than applying for Harvard/Yale's JD MBA joint program or one or other, depending on necessity and sensibility as time passes... I want to end up settling in Cali/NY.</p>
<p>BUT should I just not go to McCombs and go to an IVY in order to improve my chances at a top firm, which would increase my chances of getting into a better grad school as well AND moving up in the firm...</p>
<p>Advice? Thank you!</p>
