Vanderbilt OR Umich-Ann Arbor

<p>I am an international newly admitted transfer to both schools.</p>

<p>My current major is EE but I want to go to Wall street. </p>

<p>Maybe I will dual major in EE and physics or math or maybe I will take a minor in economics</p>

<p>Which school is more popular to investment banks?</p>

<p>Will these IBanks show up in on-campus job fair and recruit someone like me with a major in EE or physics or Math?</p>

<p>Any comment will be appreciated.</p>

<p>You need to contact the Career Center at each university and ask specifically about job placement for INTERNATIONAL students. With an F-1 visa (student visa) you are allowed a certain number of months to work in the US after graduation. If you have not found an H-1B visa sponsor by the time your work permission expires, you will have to leave. You need to find out which banks in your own country are likely to hire you.</p>

<p>To be completely honest with you, I have to say that the only people I know of who have managed to find H-1B visa sponsors are those who hold at least an MS in an STEM field, and who have been hired for a job specifically related to that STEM field. Most of the people I know who have found H-1B sponsors have PhDs in STEM fields and multiple years of work experience in the US and/or their home country.</p>

<p>Both EE and Math are STEM. </p>

<p>And most importantly, both math and EE at Vandy sucks. That makes the decision really hard.</p>

<p>So I wonder if the job placement at Vandy counld balance out its weakness.</p>

<p>Yes, Math and EE are both STEM. However you are looking for a job in I-Banking. The STEM people I know who found H-1B sponsors are working in STEM fields, not banking. They are doing high-level computer program design, or are heading up bio-tech research labs. Since you want I-Banking, you need to ask the Career Centers very specifically about that kind of work.</p>

<p>No it can’t go to MICHIGAN - it’s international alumni network is incredible. This is really an easy choice given your major.</p>

<p>“And most importantly, both math and EE at Vandy sucks. That makes the decision really hard.”</p>

<p>If that is how you feel, why would you even want to attend their in any case?</p>

<p>Michigan is a top ten business school so lots of connections on Wall Street.</p>
