Is this a good undergrad school for Business?

At this point, gheystuds.com is probably a better place for an internship than Merrill.

Not kidding that's the primary feeder internship for GOLDMAN SACHS, MORGAN STANLEY, and PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

I admit my mistake suggesting Merill Lynch. But lets get serious.

Ok lets get serious. You are being a douchebag. Just get into a top school first, then worry about the rest starting sophomore year. EDIT: I see you are going to Rutgers. Get straight A+s for one year, transfer to Columbia. Then you might have your dream career of financial cockslobbery. Not from Rutgers.

Its plain stupid to throw out anything below a 3.8 The difference in grades is minuscule, I wouldnt want to work for a company that did that anyway.

There are a lot of rumors that get thrown around about IBD recruiting.

For GPA, 3.5 seems to be the min. for white males. There's flexibility if you're a female or a minority.

Why do people want to work in the financial industry?

As long as you are willing to trade having a life for it, go ahead.

Will do brah.

Yes, once you have the job and you get the money, you can buy happiness as well as taste and class. Your life will be complete!

Not saying that money is driving me there. Just was saying that could possibly be why so many people aare

this is epic fail waiting to happen... You really have to be prepared for a lot of work and disappointment, just because you have like a 2100 SAT doesnt mean the real world is that hospitable

Anyway, im a finance/math major at a middle of the road school (think something like rutgers) I have a 4.0 and whatnot with apps pending in 7 higher tier unis (so far Im rejected from cornell(Which should've been safety!!!) and waitlisted at uva.) I have a 2300 SAT but transferring is not as easy as everyone says it is.

succeeding in the real world is a little bit harder than you think. The only worthwhile summer gig I could find was at a small investment firm but that is the product of at least 30+ cover letters/resumes/job fairs/sucking off my contacts/luck and a fairly decent resume.

I really wish you the best of luck but it seems like you missed the boat. I am slowly starting to realize this, so I am trying really hard to make many backups - I'll probably hedge my study program into financial engineering while aiming for a top 1% LSAT so I can keep my options open.
