Hello all. First time poster here. I’m planning to apply to grad school for Fall 2013 and was hoping some people with experience could provide some advice.

I’m doing a career change and am focused on getting into the Front Office of the investment industry. My ultimate goal is to get experience as a portfolio manager and then build out my own business from there.

I don’t have a background in investments except I have been tracking the markets and create tracking portfolios that do beat the S&P 500 by quite a bit. My work experience was working for the US Navy as an Electrical Engineer for 5 years.

Now that you know a little bit about my background here is my question: is Boston College’s MBA program good enough for someone doing a career change into the investment field? All I want is a foot in the door for an internship and I will do the rest.

I’m also open to other schools as well. Any suggestions will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance and happy hunting!
