<p>Hi, I am a sophomore(rising junior) engineering major/econ minor at Michigan and currently have a 3.5 - 3.6 gpa. Since I already missed the fall transfer deadline, I am thinking about repeating a year and transferring to other business/econ programs. </p>

<p>I wanna get some opinions on if you guys think it would be worth it though, as in, if the following programs be a significant upgrade in terms of opportunities available in ibanking, I mean compared to Michigan Engineering if I stick it out. If they are, by how much? A wide margin? a bit? just a little?</p>

<p>The programs I am considering:
Northwestern Econ
Cornell Econ/AEM
Cal Business/Econ
Duke Econ
Chicago Econ</p>

<p>This topic has been discussed ad nauseam. Do a search.</p>

<p>I do not work in IB, but following this thread and having a D work as a summer analyst at a BB last summer and offered an analyst position in S & T this summer, I would say Duke and Cornell are targets for NYC Investment Banking jobs.</p>

<p>Please correct me if I am wrong those of you working as ibankers.</p>

<p>that wasnt my question though</p>

4

<p>with en engineering degree you can work in IB and engineering…with those other degree your job prospects are limited.</p>

5

<p>after 2 years in engineering I have concluded NEVER EVER in my life do I EVER want to be an engineer, so that’s a moot point, but thanks</p>

<p>If you’re happy with Michigan, why would you want to leave and have to start all over somewhere else? Are you that career-obsessed? You’re a bloody idiot. Stay at your state school, bang lots of chicks, get wasted, support big blue and enjoy college. Don’t be ‘that guy.’</p>

<p>And no, none of those schools will give you a much better chance of getting into finance.</p>

<p>I think I answered your question. What did I not answer?<br>

  1. You are thinking of transferring.
  2. You want to get into ibanking.
  3. You want to know which of the schools you listed would help get up there.
  4. How much? How wide? </p>

<p>Answer–from your list (as I said) Duke and Cornell. By how much and how wide? Only admissions knows.</p>

8

<p>And only the ibanking firms know. My D was chosen out of a very, very select group this year to work in S&T at a BB. Target school mattered.</p>

9

<p>anymore insights?</p>

10

<p>is banging multiple chicks beneficial to an IB career?</p>

11

<p>

Not only is it beneficial, it’s a requirement. The interviewer and recruiter will want to know and trust me, they will put you on the polygraph.</p>

<p>omaplata,
I’m not the one that has really paid attention to what each and every user has posted on this forum. But I took what QuakerOats has said as a sarcastic joke…</p>

13

<p>Ya I don’t know many people who only care about “an IB career” who would ask a question like the one I did. Definitely a joke =P … someone mentioned banging hot chicks earlier in the thread and i couldnt let it go unnoticed</p>

<p>Guys with small d’s don’t get offers. Sorry guys, my D would not be interested in you. Small minds, small d’s.</p>
