In Reply To: ok this is my situation...i would love to go to NYU but paying 30K a year for tuition and room & board is WAY out of my paycheck=( now i was wondering is it possible for me to go to a state school or just average public school and major in business finance and still have a shot at becoming an IB? can i just get my bachelors degree in a state school and try and go to a top tier school for graduate and still have a good chance in becoming an IB or is there no shot? do u need a lot of work experience to get a master's degree? *also what is University of Texas Austin's reputation for becoming an IB? *thanks for all the help if u can...i really appreciate it..and if you use AIM or ICQ please post your nick and icq# so that i can talk to ya=) if you don't mind of course=) *thanks for all the help..any info is greatly wanted
Message: Quick advice: Cheaper/lesser school OK if get mostly all As Must major in business Do something entrepreneurial in college Read Wall St Journal daily in college Teach your how to do financial models -- buy a couple books and learn, you will AMAZE on interviews -- it's not that tough Want to go overboard? Study for the CFA (www.cfa.org) in college -- you will blow away your interviewers if you pass those tests
