<p>Can anyone shed any light upon Michigans Investment Banking?... does UM have some sort of Investment Banking Club or Workshop? and How does UM prepare their students for wallstreet... any advice/comment would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>They offer special classes in exaggerated claims, lying 101, and avoiding jail by careful use of waffle words. It's great.</p>
<p>There's investment clubs. Though I don't know specificallyy about investment banking clubs. There are also classes. Most of them are Ross business classes. Take a look at the course guides for more information. This is all I know unfortunately.</p>
<p>A lot of the clubs seem to be just for Ross students, are there availabilities/opportunities for LSA students to join these groups/clubs.</p>

<p>are some courses that you may find helpful. There is the Michigan Interactive Investments club, the Finance Club, etc. The thing is, Ross doesn't actively help anyone prepare to become an investment banker. Students get the jobs on their own and usually prepare for interviews on their own (Vault guides and such). The ones who get the extra support are those in the clubs mentioned above or one of the three business fraternities: AKPsi, DSP, PCT. However, what Ross WILL do for you is provide the courses, host corporate presentations, review your resumes, and conduct mock interviews. After that, it's all up to your self-motivation.</p>
<p>I'm already going to be in one of those fraternities. As in, I was at my last school, and I've been in contact with the brothers at Michigan. :)</p>
<p>redhare, do you know anything about LSA's career center. I hear they aren't as active as they should be. However, I've heard despite this, a lot of the companies do come to the career fairs because of Michigan's reputation.</p>

<p>The majority of undergrad clubs are open to all michigan students, though you may have to a little more proactive about finding clubs to join, etc. as most just announce meetings/have info sessions targeted at ross students.</p>
<p>michigan interactive investments, the largest investing club on campus, accepts non-ross kids (last year's president was ioe) and the akpsi business fraternity is also open to non-ross students. i think most clubs are this way actually except one of the business fraternities, finance club, and a few smaller business clubs.</p>
<p>fraternities are also a great resource for prospective ibankers, and not just the business fraternities. a fairly disproportionate number of seniors with good finance offers are greek and they always help out younger people in their house. this seems to be especially true for the jewish houses.</p>
