Rejected from ASU - Gap year?
Hey guys, I just got rejected by ASU (applied to study finance). I'm devastated as I had the next few years of my life planned around going to ASU. I was going to join the investment club (which is a supertarget, placing as well per capita as Wharton and LSE) and get aPWMinternship first summer, followed by astint atGSTMTand finally CVP, leading to aFToffer from the latter.
There's honestly no other school that combines great weather, amazing greek life, a gorgeous campus, supertarget-status placement investment funds and workshops as well as being a socially and academically prestigious (especially its honors college) school.
I got into a couple of my safeties including Penn State, Bama, Brown and UCSB, but I feel like I'll always have a chip on my shoulder if I don't go to ASU, and that bitterness during interviews and superdays will cripple my chances of CVP.
Should I take a gap year, or settle for Bama/USCB (my top choices)?

No bro you cannot give up the chance at applying again to a supertarget like ASU next year just to go to a safety like UCSB
Gonna say straight up that LSE's per capita placement (at good firms) isn't super target status at all. It's top tier for sure but still isn't gonna rack up to the per capita or Oxbridge which would be a super target.
LSEhas more in high finance than Oxbridge combined, probably even if we include one of UCL/Imperial
"Per capita".
LSEcontains self selecting students who go their to become bankers. Go speak to someone who studies there, it'll take 5 mins before spring weeks are brought up. Banking isn't particularly prestigious at oxbridge and the class is more diverse with their interests.

可能会与哈佛或Stanf射出你的拍摄ord(?) not as prestigious as ASU because they don't have a finance program but worth trying. I hear they place well (think Lizard, Goldmen, Tobin & Co.)
I know you're trying to be funny, but ASU's investment fund has rock-solid pipelines straight to Tier SigmaIBDgroups (PJT RSSG, CVP, EVR M&A, LAZ RX)
There's like 20 H/S (undergrad) alumni total atEBs
This is true. Certain frats at ASU can also place intoLazard/RothschildSovereign Advisory which is sigma+ tier in terms of exits (president, dictator, god)
Sounds like a bottombuckethardo post
