到达华尔街有多困难?

I'm currently a junior in high school in the Dallas area most likely going to go SMU, UT Austin, or Kelley, but will apply for schools like Georgetown and Wharton. I've recently started doing extensive research on what path I would like to take and I was wondering if I went to a school like SMU how hard would it be to get to Wall Street? I also hope to do anmbaat NYU two years after my undergrad and I plan to go intoIBorPE(haven't looked into this in detail).

如果您进入UT Austin或Kelley,则两者都很好IB纽约并在街上有很多校友。对于凯利,尽管您需要进入IB研讨会新生,我听说这并不难。两所学校都很好IB.

最有帮助的

SMU, Austin, and Kelley are all really good choices. SMU has a particularly growing connection to NY-basedIBs- I know quite a few people from SMU who have landed atEBS/BBs.

However, one of the aforementioned schools will primarily position you to work in O&G in Texas since that is where a majority of Texas school grads land.

Overall, it really does not matter where you go especially out of all of the schools you mentioned. Earn a high GPA, network your butt off, join an array of extracurriculars, and you will be in a prime poll to land a greatIB演出!

毕业于SMU,乐于回答具体问题。显然,沃顿商店等更适合安置和整体品牌知名度(没有人争论这一点),但是SMU大大超过其体重类别,并且通过替代资产计划很好地放置。安置纽约offices of Goldman, Centerview,Evercore, PJT etc.

Requires work / networking etc. for sure but if you're good and can stand out from the rest of the crowd, SMU is not a bad option if you want to enjoy college and stay in dallas

SMU明矾在BB这里。我们用力地向SMU孩子推动AFNYIB管道正在增长。如果您是白色的,请前往SMU。女孩像他妈的一样热,你可以进入IBif you're good

Not mad, more annoyed since it was so long ago. Every time I meet someone who went to a sh*t school it's like a momentary itch I need to scratch. Just such is life. I guess comparison is the thief of joy.

我并不是说如果您没有进入常春藤,那么您完全一文不值。

But some people went to real retarded schools and you just wonder.

First of all, it is a bit depressing to think about this stuff in high school. ENJOY LIFE, DEVELOP YOUR PASSIONS, SOCIAL SKILLS, HAVE FUN.

Now, how hard it is? If we're talking about what people think about when saying wall st (eg M&A atGoldman Sachsor being a trader, which are completely different, but let's assume you want to be an investment banker), you need to:

1) Get into one of the best universities in the country/world to have a shot at being offered interviews

2) Within these schools, be a top performed

3) Be great at interviewing and networking so you can actually get offered a position

4) On the job, perform within a peer group composed of the most educated hardest workers people on earth (within the business field and to overgeneralise)

现在,只要您拥有一个体面的智商,大多数人都不是艰苦的工作者,那并不是很难,没有雄心勃勃的野心,也愿意采取行动并投入时间。一旦您上班,这主要是关于您的身体和精神韧性以及兴趣/动机 - 如果您有兴趣并能够处理睡眠时间表,这确实很难表现不佳

So it's doable. However in high school you SHOULD NOT dream about Wall Street yet. You have no idea what Wall Street is yet. Come back to job prospects in 3+ years. However if you're thinking about the future it seems like you have an edge already because you're not engaging in heavy temporal discounting
