Career Opportunities & Internships Investment Banking

<p>If I'm right, the vast majority of ibanking recruitment is held from the more prestigious schools in the country, the vast majority of which I'm not getting in to with this. I can't afford private schools for the most part, so that narrows it even more. Out of state public is an option with the exception of Great Lakes region.</p>

<p>Here's how it stands:</p>

<p>Going on to senior year, just finished junior
HS Uwt. GPA: 3.33
HS Wt. GPA: 3.5
ACT w/ writing composite score: 33 (strong possibility of 34 if I retake)
SAT: NA
SAT II's: Math lvl2- 750, US- 720
Very few but some extracurriculars: 4 years out-of-school fencing, several in-school clubs
AP's: 6 if including senior year, 3 taken so far
HS API score: 897
HS does not provide class rankings
Residency in California</p>

<p>What schools can I potentially look at if any at all that will actually land me a job after?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>The top schools in California are Stanford, UC-Berkeley, USC, UCLA, Caltech, Pomona, and Claremont McKenna in terms of recruiting. Given your situation it seems that all those schools are eliminated whether that is because of your financial situation or GPA.</p>

<p>I recommend looking into UCI/UCSB who both have a fair amount of IB/VC guys in the Los Angeles region. In addition you may consider community colleges that have great transfer programs into UC-Berkeley and UCLA. </p>

<p>When it comes to out of state public schools try to find ones that do have some recruitment from investment banks and after a year or two you could pay the in-state tuition.</p>

<p>Some public schools that receive recruitment from investment banks are:
University of Michigan
Indiana University
University of Texas @ Austin
University of Virginia
University of North Carolina @ Chapel Hill
Georgia Institute of Technology</p>
