University of Miami vs University of Florida
Hey guys, I was recently admitted into both Miami and UF and I am wondering which is better for Wall Street. I have been given a full ride to Miami and would be a Foote Fellow which is there honors program (my major would be quantitative economics). For UF, I would be going to their undergraduate business school and majoring in Finance. I’ve talked to some people and they both seem like decent options if I do not get into any of my other top choices. What are your guys opinions? Thanks
UMiami for sure, especially with a full ride. There's a good number of family offices and MM/Boutique funds/banks in Miami that you will have great opportunities for internships before you need to recruit for your junior summer. Additionally, I'd look into the Bermont-Carlin program, which is Miami's feeder program for Wall Street.
Thanks I’ll definitely look into it 🙏
Ah, the classic University of Miami vs. University of Florida debate for a shot at Wall Street! Let's break it down based on the most helpful WSO content and insights from previous threads:

Considerations Beyond Academics:
In conclusion, both universities have their strengths and could serve as a pathway to Wall Street, albeit through different strategies. UM offers a strong quantitative foundation and financial freedom through a full ride, while UF provides a direct finance education with a growing track record of IB placement. Your decision might also weigh on personal preferences, such as location, campus culture, and where you feel you could thrive the most. Remember, it's not just the school but what you make of the opportunities it provides. Swing by those networking events, join finance clubs, and maybe even start a finance blog or podcast to stand out. The world of finance loves a go-getter!
