Where should I study Finance

College Majors Business Major
1

<p>Hey</p>

<p>I have been accepted at the foloowing schools - University of Connecticut, University of Texas - Austin (McCombs School of Business), University of Illinois- Urbana and McGill University (Canada). I am still waiting for Michigan and Emory. I want to major in Finance and hopefully get a job back up here - that is the Northeast. Preferably on Wall Street. </p>

<p>Could you please give me suggestions where to go with 2 likely scenarios - one scenario is that I get into both Emory and Michigan and the other scenario is that I am rejected from both Emory and Michigan and I have only the 4 schools that I have listed above. </p>

<p>As i said earlier I really want to get a job back up in NYC on wall street with finance preferably investment banking or financial consulting. Keeping that in mind could you please suggest where to go. </p>

<p>And if somebody has the 2006 list of top business schools for finance could you please post that up here. </p>

<p>I am really lost on where to go and I really need you're help. When you give me a suggestion please could you give me a short reason why you suggested that.</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>You need to know that getting into Michigan doesn't necessarily get you into the business program--only about 90 people are accepted directly. You will have to apply for that in a year or two after starting at Michigan and the competition to get into the business school is fierce. Also, you need to be aware that Univ of Texas doesn't place many people on Wall Street.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what percent of applicants get accepted into the Ross School of Business after their first year at Michigan? I heard that 60% of freshman applying to Ross for sophomore year onwards get in. Are my numbers right?</p>
