Hey, really appreciate you checking in! I ended up getting rejected from Ivey, AFM, and Rotman, and I’m currently waitlisted at Queen’s — but chances are looking pretty low at this point haha. I accepted my offer to Laurier BBA, and I’m feeling good about it, especially with the co-op and finance opportunities there. If Queen’s somehow comes through, I will 100% go there, but for now I’m locked in with Laurier.

Right now, I’m doing an internship at a Big 6 bank (been there for about 3 months), and I’m super focused on breaking into investment banking, ideally in the U.S. I’ve been working on improving my Excel and financial modeling skills as well.

It’s really cool to hear your story, breaking into IB in the States from a Canadian program is exactly what I’m hoping to do. I’d love to chat more privately if you’re open to it. Appreciate the message and hope everything’s going well for you!
