engo <3Comm/Engo works too.
You don't need HD WAM to get into IB. mid D average in comm/law is generally enough for most investment banks. Also, straight commerce works fine too, just be on around a HD average, dean's list and a merit scholarship etc (+ couple of top 3 ranks in finance/stats/eco/maths units at a solid uni will help). For IB, they seem are more interested in your marks and internships than 'extra curriculars' - by that I assume you mean volunteering, societies etc. Just have something on (e.g. 180 degrees consulting is always good, you don't need to be president of fmaa).Very.

Any of those hd average people from usyd comm/law?Mid D works,but even though they get interviews most of the actual people employed I've met have had HD WAM, you can get through with a D but you need make up for that in other parts. Straight commerce does work as you say, how ever alot more getting interviewed are comm/law in general.(and deans + a scholarship is no easy task). I agree with the marks and internship part, but I mentioned extra-cirrcular because he needs to develop those first for an internship. The other thing to point out is graduate jobs are alot more scarce compared to the internships at an I.B and generally they only take the top crop which when differntiating with the fact that everyone has similar internships at IBs (top tier,mid-tier etc..); marks and extra-cirrcular do matter more
I have a friend who's at a big 6 law firm with high D average(and he had alot of extras) from USYD,two of his friends from UNSW had HD WAM and got into I.B (one is comm/law the other straight Comm honours).He has alot more, but those are the ones he told me about.Any of those hd average people from usyd comm/law?
M&A,trading and research all require just about the same marks, extra-curricular etc these days (that being said Capital markets are usually the most popular) ... Even risk/wealth management has been hard to get into since some people choose to do it over deals just because the pay is still decent but the hours are calmer (still not 9-5 of course).When you say 'IB', are you referring to just M&A, or all the other front/middle office divisions of an investment bank (trading, research, risk management etc)
