Career Opportunities & Internships Investment Banking
1

<p>Hello!
So I am really interested in private equity and investment banking and hope to one day work for one of these firms.
I am a senior in high school and have applied to the following schools:
-University of Southern California
-UCLA
-Pepperdine University
-UC Irvine
-CSU Fullerton
-University of San Diego and
-San Diego State University</p>

<p>Will these schools help me land the job of my dreams?
I will be receiving the most scholarship money from CSU Fullerton, so if I decide to go there, will this school in particular help me get into private equity/ investment banking?</p>

<p>The more detail the better!!!
Thank you in advance!</p>

<p>From what I understand, you want to work in california? If so, USC and UCLA are your best bet if you want to break in. If USC, particularly the business school.</p>

<p>Out of the entire list, those two, from what I understand, are where the banks recruit.</p>

<p>CSU Fullerton, sadly, is not a target, and will not help you. However, it’s not impossible. </p>

<p>The only programs that would really give you a chance are biz econ at UCLA and business at USC. Neither are really traditional target schools though. You’d probably be limited to IB in LA/SF as east coast offices won’t come all the way out there to recruit.</p>
