We have much in common. I am international too. I graduated with a 3.4 GPA from Michigan with a double major in Economics and Math. I got two offers from Investment Banks (Lehman Brothers in London and Goldman Sachs in NYC). I prefered Europe, so I chose Lehman Brothers. Ironically, 18 months into my program at Lehman’s, my boss accepted an offer from Golman Sachs in London and took me with her. I spent 2 more years in the IB field but realized I was not happy doing that kind of work. So I applied to graduate programs (MBA programs for the most part, but also Cornell’s school of Industrial and Labor Relations). I ended up getting into Kellogg, Columbia and Cornell’ MILR program. I decided to go into Human Resources, so I picked Cornell’s MILR program.

In short, if you go to an elite university, maintain a high GPA and plan well, you will have many opportunities.
