Looking for programs similar to IBW, Corsair, Fisher Futures

I'm a high schooler building my college list right now. I have a bunch of targets on my list (Ross, NYU, Haas) but am looking for semi targets with competitive programs/workshops, such as the ones mentioned above, that have strong placement into IB (NY or regional). Another program I was planning to apply to was UF MSF, so if anyone has any advice please let me know. I think ASU also has a program called IBIS but I haven't done much research on that so I'm not sure how strong they are. Thanks. 

 

Based on the WSO dataset, it's great to see you're considering programs with strong placement into investment banking. While the specific details about ASU's IBIS program or UF MSF aren't directly mentioned in the context provided, I can share insights on the importance of such specialized programs in enhancing IB placement rates.

Programs like IU's IBW (Investment Banking Workshop) are highly structured and provide rigorous training, networking opportunities, and direct exposure to the industry, which significantly boosts placement into top-tier investment banks. Similarly, UGA's Corsair program is another example where focused training and a strong alumni network play a crucial role in securing positions in investment banking, primarily in NYC.

When evaluating semi-target schools with competitive programs, consider the following aspects: 1. Curriculum and Training: Look for programs that offer specialized courses in investment banking. 2. Alumni Network: A strong and active alumni network can provide mentorship and facilitate networking opportunities. 3. Recruitment History: Check the program's track record for placing students into investment banking roles, especially in your preferred locations (NYC or regional).

For UF MSF and ASU's IBIS, I recommend reaching out directly to the programs for detailed information on their curriculum, alumni success, and specific placement statistics in investment banking. Additionally, engaging with current students or alumni through forums like Wall Street Oasis can provide firsthand insights and help gauge the effectiveness of these programs in achieving your career goals.

Remember, the right fit is crucial, so consider how well each program aligns with your career goals and personal preferences.
