The most important point of getting into a top rated mba program is your undergraduate record and mcats. Go where you think you will be happiest and most engaged.

And top schools seem to like some work experience like HBS.

But no reason you can’t go direct from UG. No school will guarantee you an IB career. Not Harvard not Princeton. It’s more competitive than this college search.

And you can find alums from every great school in IB.

And quite frankly I would suggest thinking a bit wider. Most people identify elite finance careers with IB. The real money is made in private equity. And hedge. PE really loves the high profile mbas. Some come out of banks and analyst roles but in my experience they are groomed as PE associates out of top b schools.

They are the ones all the bankers are courting. IB coordinates the deals. PE own the deals.
