How will an undergraduate business degree in finance compare with a degree in economics from schools that do not offer undergraduate business majors like top ranked ivies?
As a senior in high school I've applied primarily to business schools interested in pursuing a degree in finance and/or information systems.

Let’s be honest: Do you have to go to an Ivy League school to get into investing?
I know a college degree is important for getting a job in investing. How important is the exact school you go to? Is an Ivy League school necessary? I ask for honesty because I keep hearing YOU CAN DO ANYTHING from people about everything, and it doesn’t seem like anyone is really just saying what they really feel. It matters to me because if I don’t have the right school or the right grades or whatever I’d rather know up front what is needed so I don’t waste my energy striving for something that isn’t really realistic. #finance #financial-services #investment-management #investing #ivy-league

What if the College of your dreams accepts you, but the college you know you should go to does not?
I have been accepted into the school of my dreams which happens to be the best school for engineering in the country.
