<p>Currently on pace to graduate May of 2012 from a very average UW-Milwaukee School:
The only I thing I care about is getting in on Wall Street so I've been a madman starting end of freshmen year to pad my stats.</p>
<p>Stats: 3.797 GPA (I have gotten nothing except 4.0's after Freshmen year, did decent freshman year 3.5-3.6, But I've gave up partying), will go to 3.85 after I run the table to finish my undergrad degree
Quadruple Major: Accounting, Economics, Finance, Marketing
4.0 GPA in any business related class
And I am going to do all of this in a span 3 years.
I have basically secured an internship with PriceWaterhouseCoopers for Summer 2012
I also plan on getting another internship with some Fortune 500 company for summer 2013.
I plan on passing the CPA exam by June 2013, also considering CFA exam if its not too much work.
EC:
Ran for School Board in the City of Franklin, WI in 2009
Running for Student Senate this year for another line on the resume
Will hopefully have 50,000+ followers on twitter by this time next year
And idk if this helps, but I'm Vietnamese</p>
<p>My thinking is that I don't want to waste time getting work experience so I can get into a top tier MBA school, so I started doing a little work preparing for the LSAT to hopefully get into a top tier law school and just piggyback it to network with some Goldman Sachs/JPmorgan recruiter. I'm hoping for at least a 170 on it.</p>
<p>Of course I haven't done any work applying to any schools so I won't be going to law school Fall 2012 so I am aiming for Fall 2013. So I am considering staying around UW-Milwaukee for one year to get a masters and I'll probably get a nice financial package from them and I always wanted to be a T.A., so why not?</p>
<p>Now which degree would most benefit me on my mission to be an Investment Banker:
MS-Accounting (30 credits): (I think this is pointless because I can get the CPA without going through it, and the degree is worth nothing anyways unless you get the CPA)
Though at my school the business programs touts its accounting program and offers lots of support for it, I know if I went this rout I would be getting scholarships and grants thrown at me.</p>
<p>MS-Finance (33 Credits) : I have a personal preference to go after this degree, and I can overlap 2 accounting classes to help me prep for the CPA exam (though I think I can manage to pass without it)</p>
<p>MA-Economics (27 Credits): Second Preference, only 27 credits, so I would only have to do 3 credits over the summer giving me time to relax.</p>
<p>Feedback or any other way I can get into Investment Banking would be nice guys, Thanks!!</p>
