Career Opportunities & Internships Investment Banking
1

<p>First off let me introduce my self.</p>

<p>My name is Jake and I am currently attending a community college in the Minneapolis/ St. Paul , Minnesota metro area. I have just completed my first year of studies and am taking classes full time in the summer.</p>

<p>I have applied for transfer to:</p>

<p>Loyola University Chicago
Southern Methodist University
Texas Christian University</p>

<p>So far I have been accepted to Loyola, and am still waiting to hear back from the other two schools.</p>

<p>My questions:</p>

<p>1.) Which out of those schools would be best for a career in investment banking?</p>

<p>2.) Worst case if I get denied from the other two schools, would Loyola Chicago be a bad school to attend if I am trying to get picked up by top banks?</p>

<p>3.) I plan on majoring in Finance, is that the correct path I should take?</p>

<p>Multiple opinions are welcomed!</p>

<p>Thanks for your time,</p>

<p>Jake</p>

<p>loyola is your best shot i think. great location being in the actual city. chicago >>> anything texas. finance is a great major. i didnt know loyola offered it though.</p>

<p>While none are considered ‘target schools’ SMU will be your best option. A lot of old money people attend and a great alumni base for you to network with. It’s weird that a methodist school in texas sends kids to wall street, but it does.</p>

<p>I second what maxellis said about SMU. It’s strange but true that SMU does have some representation on wallstreet</p>
