Help with school
Hey all,
First time on here, so I apologize if I break any forum rules. I am currently a junior in the midwest, and I want to get into IB/Quant/ just finance in general. I wanted to know my chances from some schools. As of now, my stats are 4.4 GPA, 35 act (may improve in the future), started a comp sci (2 years) and econ club (just this year, competing in national econ challenge later on), 2 internships (one with a big bank, one with a local accounting firm, and possibly one with a wealth management firm). I'm enrolled in dual enrollment classes at the local accredited community college and will have ~60 credits from that and another 15-20 Ap credits (also have ap scholar with distinction). I work two jobs rn but will be one soon at a grocery store and the other as a manager at a local fast food place. I used to be a tutor (both as a job and as a volunteer) I started a chess tutor service that tutored around 1k people during the pandemic. Does anyone know what colleges I should aim for with these types of stats?
Thank you,
bob
buddy wants to do quant eh?
You can pretty much aim at most colleges with that type of profile. Just compare your stats to average class numbers, figure out whether you are an over- or under-represented demography, do some reflection to write your essays, and show interest in a specific field and leadership/initiative. Some volunteer work also goes a loooooooong way - especially important to be doing it for longer time rather than short time, but intense; what matters here is consistent impact over time.
