In Reply To: which school is better for business finance...A&M or UT? for one who wants to go into the sell or buy side as in (IB or Asset Management) which school would be best to go into..and is going to either school puts one at a disadvantage?
Message: There is no comparison, UT is a top 20 school by any rankings, while A&M is not even close. In I-banking the caliber of school you go to is extremely important - you will be at a huge disadvantage going to UT over the "top tier" schools like Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, etc., but at least you'll have a chance (if you have other strong characteristics that compensate). If you go to A&M, your chances are substantially lower. Finally, Austin is beautiful and interesting while College Station is a small redneck-filled town in the middle of nowhere.
