top finance programs

<p>who knows what are the best finance top programs in the country and the top core schools for ibanking and jobs like that.....</p>

<p>Wharton, Chicago, Columbia, Stern, UVa, Harvard, UMich, you know, the usual suspects.</p>

<p>For undergrad finance it goes something like Wharton, Stern, UMich, Berkeley, UT Austin (?)</p>

<p>For grad finance it goes something like Wharton, Chicago, Stern(?) or Columbia (?)</p>

<p>What - no mention of MIT?</p>

<p>No mention of Haas?</p>

<p>haas is berkeley</p>

<p>Haas was like #3 or #4 on Kaplan for Finance</p>

<p>MIT is under "the usual suspects." I thought someone as knowledgeable as you would know sakky. Oh I left one out too...Dartmouth. Not everyone knows they have a good business school but they do.</p>

<p>anybody knows what are the good core schools for ibanking(investement banking) and stuff like that....where lehman brothers and morgan stanley for example...rescruit
what d u think is a good GPA to have good chance to get in a good undergrad universitie for a finance program like the ones in the list above......3.8??</p>

<p>3.8 at Wharton and you're probably guarenteed an offer.</p>

<p>mmm...nice....ok

<p>Uh, I think I do know. I simply thought that it ought to be mentioned explicitly.</p>

<p>Correction. 3.8 might get you an INTERVIEW. But it hardly guarantees an offer. </p>

<p>I know people who got perfect grades at MIT who got plenty of interviews, but didn't get any offers. Once you get to the interview stage, it's all about your interview skills. If they are weak, you're not going to get an offer, no matter how good your grades are. In fact, some of them even said that they should have spent less time studying and more time practicing their interview skills.</p>

<p>how can u practice ur interview skills??</p>

<p>^^ Put yourself in public speaking situations. Organize meetings (if you are in some student organization), give talks (maybe for the department or if you do some kind of research), obtaining internships that require you to be vocal. Stuff like that. Just get yourself out there. You can even take some public speaking courses if you'd like. </p>

<p>The lack of communication skills, both vocal and written, that engineers (or other professions) possess is one of the biggest complaints by industry.</p>

<p>thats it??
ok how important is the essay compared to the interview???
and what is the lowest "respectable" GPA to apply for this?</p>
