Hey all, I am currently a rising sophomore at an Ivy League target. While my experience has been so far okay, I don't think it's the right fit for me (for a lot of reasons, but mainly due to the vibe / location), and for how much I'll be taking out in student loans for it, I don't feel obligated to...

I'm interning with an MBB in NJ, but I hope to be in DC long-term. (The decision to be in NJ was made because of the pandemic/uncertainty.) Once/if I receive a full-time offer, how can I start to make the move to DC? Should I stay quiet about where I want to be for a bit or start a conversation...

I will be entering a target school (Dartmouth, Duke, UChicago, Brown) this fall and I'm wondering if I should transfer to a super target (HYPW or maybe Columbia) after my first year--if I get accepted, of course. It seems that COVID will make it difficult to network as a first year anyways, so I'm...

嘿,伙计们,我以前转移到宾夕法尼亚大学的有限公司llege of Arts and Sciences from another uni and I hope to work on Wall Street and (most likely) in Sales & Trading in the future. This means Wharton's out of the picture but I can still take a few courses there. What is the best major within the...

Maybe I should've posted this in the consulting forum, but has any first/second years here lateralled out from IBD to MBB?

Hey everyone! I've recently accepted an ACI offer with Bain in one of their main offices (non-NY). I absolutely love Bain, the people, and the office as well.

Rising Sophomore at BU with 3.85/4.0. Looking for an EXIT strategy. Where should I transfer? It seems like it is really hard to transfer to other undergrad business school after 2 yrs in college. I heard Northwestern has a decent trasnfer acceptance rate among top schools that send kids to the...
