Thanks for all the advice!

So here’s a summary of what I got

1. Major in Finance + Math

Do well (Is 3.7 cummalative well enough?)

2. Attempt to get a I-Banking Analyst job through connections. This will be difficult from a non-target school, and if it fails get another position and gear up for a Top MBA school.

3. Some positions to explore with your math/finance degrees include:

Risk Management Positions
Corporate Finance
Try getting international experience
Work for a start up
At a “In house Job” for a corporatoin for acquisitions or developments
Heavy Duty Quant Skills (Which job has that?)
Consulting Route

4. Do well and get into a Top 5 MBA Program

5. Try to get an ASSOCIATES position in an I-Bank

Sounds like a good new route? Is this pretty much what people have been saying right?
