I'm a student at Mays and i'm thinking about applying for the Horizons program. What are the benefits of the program? What's the difference in Horizons and the i-bank program? How competitive is it? Any info is appreciated.

The Investment Banking Program exclusively targets New York. From what I understand Horizons is great for Houston/Dallas.

You're absolutely right and a lot of the students do go to Houston for O&G banking. I'm actually working with the dept head now and the mission of the AOWS program is to place students specifically in NY and expand our presence there. They won't come to us to recruit so the trip helps to get students in front of them. Historically only a few each year will land those jobs.
quote:Interesting change, thanks for explaining. Do all I-Banking students go on the trip or is it still based on application?
AOWS recently merged with the Investment Banking Program, so they are now the same and you need to be in the program to go on the trip. Although, last year some exceptions had to be made. Now there is an Investment Banking Seminar that is taught in the spring which coincides with the "AOWS class" which also starts in the spring. The trip to NY caps off the AOWS class. I hope that makes sense. The program is changing and being re-branded to better align with the 20-yr old Aggies on Wall Street brand.
