In Reply To: I really want to go into trading, however I also want an MBA from a top US B-school. Does anyone know how top business schools view traders as far as admissions are concerned? DO they prefer coporate finance people instead of traders in admssions? Thanks in Advance
Message: Remember, they just love the diversity thing, so: many many corp fin guys go do mba's very very few traders go do mba's Therefore, all other things being equal, traders should have it easier. A more important question to ask yourself is if you were in trading, why would you want an mba? I think there are good reasons, but you need to be clear what YOUR reasons are. One last thing: if you could only do one ie. trading or a 'top mba', which would you do? If the answer isn't trading, you don't want it badly enough.
