Career Opportunities & Internships Investment Banking

<p>Hi, I am looking at working the the financial industry after I graduate college and more specifically in investment banking, hedge funds, or private equity. I am currently trying to pick a college to go to and I have been accepted. Of these colleges which would give me the best chance?
WPI
RPI
UCONN
UMASS Amherst
UMASS Dartmouth
University of Hartford
Florida Institute of Technology
Stony Brook</p>

<p>I feel that RPI would come the closest to being a target school, but is not one itself along with WPI. UMASS Amherst offers a finance major and is a bigger school which may have more connections via alumni along with Stony Brook. I plan to double major in EE and economics/finance with a Stat minor. What would be the best plan/college?</p>

<p>Any other options? None of these are target schools so it’s hard to say.</p>

<p>I would go for the cheapest option and knock it out of the park your first year. After that try to transfer to at least a Top 35-ish type of school (or a biz-program at a solid state school like Texas, Indiana, or UIUC).</p>

<p>What icheetah said is the best option. Another one might be go to UConn, and get into GE’s FMP, then business school, then IB. But the above option is really more practical. FMP is mostly accounting as well.</p>
