FWIW, advice I got about private equity was to focus on understanding companies and how they work. Be an engineer. Or go into consulting and then get an MBA from a top school. Or do accounting, know how to tear apart financial statements, be an auditor or work in a bank’s credit department and go to grad school (or not).

Some of the BBAs (non-SMU) we’ve hired in corporate finance have hardly known Excel. Some self teach themselves well. Others have less initiative. My advice is to take an Excel modeling course.
