Hello TSR
I'm an international student from Sweden looking to attend university next year, with the objective of securing a trading job at an IB or Hedge fund.
Background:
Did Business Economics, Maths, International Economics and Finance at the highest level during high school. Grades: A*AAA.
I have experience within trading various financial instruments (successfully) including FX and ETF's. Furthermore I have been working at Deloitte for the past 8 months since I graduated high school.
Despite this I didn't manage to receive an offer from Cambridge nor LSE (economics), however I have recieved unconditional offers from The University of Manchester (BAecon Finance) and The University of Nottingham; BSc Finance, Accounting and Mangament and I'm yet to receive any response from Warwick (economics) which I will firm if I'm fortunate enough to recieve an offer.
How would you rate my chances of getting an internship at a major IB/Hedge Fund? (Trading Desk or M&A). Furthermore, I'm having trouble deciding between Manchester and Nottingham, is there any significant differences between the two and do the banks look differently upon a BA compared to a BSc?
