The "Am I good enough for Investment Banking/Consultancy?" Thread

with those grades u cant get through to interview.

u need at least ABB/AAB.

even with those, its still tough.

bt thats life...

you going to nottz then jibzy

I missed the offer.

I got AAB. and not AAA
exeter is ma insurance, which is fine by me.
bt people are advising that a take a year off to resit my unit 6 economics paper so i can have AAA overall and re-apply to nottingham and get in.

im still confused. my focus is on the long-term and on Job prospects. Im trying to weight up how much a Nottz degree would add value compared to exeter in terms of grad prospects.

a masters at lse will be better

ah i'm sorry man

how much did you miss the A by on your third a-level?

the thing that is different with you is that you will have w/e that not many 1st years will have under there belt

it was in economics that i fell down a grade, which is unexpected. Economics was meant to be my best subject and ironically, i got A's in history and Gegraphy, which are my worst subjects.
last years economics UMS was 276/300. I guess that forced me to take my eyes off it abit and focus on more pressing things that needed improving.
bt im confident i can just re-sit unit 6, which is marked out of 120- i think i could score a confident 110/120, so that should boost my overall grades to AAA.
bt what do u think about me taking a year out to work and do that ?

depends how nottz see re-sits...effectively you have taken 3 years to do what most people who apply to economics at nottz do in 2 years (its a competitive course after all)

i would stick with exeter, you've got the w/e on your side which is an added plus - see if you get into IB, if not, then go do a masters

I just spke to the admin. tutor. she said, its fine, and that she would look favourably on my application when i re-apply with AAA. she said she remembers me having a brilliant personal statement, and she look fowards to another application from me....

mate trust me take that with a pinch of salt
