I'm a rising high school senior and am in the process of choosing and researching college options. I'm being recruited by some heavyweights and want to go into the financial field including i-banking, management, research, or brokerage. What I want to know is,
"Do I need to go to a nationally ranked school?"
"Do I need to major in Finance or Economics (both are interesting to me but, not every selective college offers the former)."
"Is the u-grad school you choose to attend and graduate from really important? Is it just that a 'name-brand' u-grad education will significantly increase your chances of a good b-school? and recruitment by the boys on the Street?"
"What programs, certifications, or recognitions should I look for in a u-grad program, if any to help my chances of great internships, career placements, and recruitments."
Also, any other information that anyone could provide me would be greatly appreciated and reviewed.
Thanks for your help. |
