The Road to Wall Street Program is a highly selective program for students at Rutgers Business School who are interested in pursuing a career in finance. The application process is extremely rigorous with many meetings and multiple interview rounds. The applicant pool starts at around 500 and shrinks down to about 70. I am one of the 70 students that have been invited to join the 12th cohort of this program. Upon accepting the invitation, I had to complete 3 courses over the summer ranging from Microsoft Excel and financial accounting at the beginning, to analyzing financial statements at the end. This fall, there is a financial modeling course taught by Ken Friedman, someone who went to Rutgers and worked on wall street. I am excited to learn about the technical skills associated with the future roles I seek.
