<p>Bear in mind that, if it turns out you do not fit what they are looking for you will not wind up in front office investment banking anyway, whether you want to or not, and most people don’t. Having access is important if you are thinking you want to go that route, but I hate to see people make college matriculation decisions on that one basis only, because I have seen the process from the other side and most people don’t get in.</p>
