Career Opportunities & Internships Investment Banking
1

<p>Hello everyone.</p>

<p>I am a High School Junior who has recently ran into investment banking in career/college researching. </p>

<p>Only I am finding very foggy information on what you need to do to get into investment banking.</p>

<p>Where can I find some real information on I Banking? I've found contradicting information everywhere. Do you have to be at a top target undergraduate school? Or is that graduate only? </p>

<p>I keep running across all the stuff about needing to be at a target school and all. Only what does this mean?
J.P</a>. Morgan - Campus Schedule
J P Morgan does a undergraduate campus visit to a school like DePaul and other schools that are never mentioned as target schools. What am I supposed to infer out of that? </p>

<p>I have taken 1-2 honors courses per year in HS (Which was the maximum possible for me to take.), I have a very low 3.8 unweighted GPA and a low 3.9 weighted, a couple clubs and haven't taken the ACT yet. I know my teachers well and should get great recs if that means anything. With stats like these is there any school in my range that could land me some I-Banking internships and a job? What hope do I and others like me have?</p>

<p>Is a possible path going to a non target undergraduate, doing great there, getting the best banking job you can for a couple of years, and then getting a graduate at a top MBA and then break into I-banking? Or will all of this crumble without going to a great undergraduate school? Any good sites with great information on getting into I-Banking? </p>

<p>Any help, advice, and general information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading too.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that those schools might be "targets", but not necessarily IB or S&T or IMD</p>

<p>JP Morgan and all the other banks have jobs ranging from administrative assistants to in house accountants to security guards. They recruit for different jobs at different schools.</p>

<p>Your both right on that. Looking at the sidebar reveals it all. I was linked to campus schedules from the investment banking section, but there is no real direct correlation between IB and that specific schedule visit. </p>

<p>What about the idea of getting into a top MBA? Are there any undergraduate schools in my range that are targets or close to it? What hope is there for someone like me?</p>
