<p>Would a BBA degree from Umass - amherst hold any weight in the Ibanking world?</p>
<p>anyone? My brother is considering a transfer to this school and also thinking about breaking into the Ibanking seen after he graduates. Opinions about this school in relation with Ibanking would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>little weight…</p>
<p>Don’t say little weight at all…</p>
<p>BBA means, Isenberg School of Management. If you have a very high GPA, say 3.7+ … you will definitely get the jobs from the big 4 auditors, such as KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, accounting firms, et cetera.</p>
<p>Remember, that some people go to Umass Amherst because of tuition and finances (I go here actually since it’s a full ride… and I’m trying to either transfer to Cornell CALS or finish my double major/minor/certificate at UMA).</p>
<p>There’s a story about a famous alumni who got high grades in Isenberg, and matriculated to MIT Sloan. He was hired by Goldman-Sachs–fired (because he didn’t fit in with the culture or hours I guess)–and started his own million dollar business.</p>
<p>So there’s hope.</p>
<p>Isenberg is a pretty good MBA program, but not as prestigious, of course, as NYU Stern, UPENN’s Wharton, MIT Sloan, or even BC’s Carroll School of Management.</p>
<p>Hope it helps</p>
