Alex,

What are your thoughts on Fordham's full time program? I am currently an M&A banker and would most likely want to go back into banking. Thanks

If you're already in banking, why are you bothering to go back to school for 2 years, only to go back to banking?

Would go back to school to come back as an associate. Also, I am at a boutique and would like to get into a middle market group (Houlihan, Jefferies, Morgan Joseph, ect.). I don't think that I can make a latteral move now because of all the layoffs in the market. I may be wrong, but it seems as though banks hire associates out of B-School every year, even though some years may be less than others. Thoughts? As always, thanks for your advice.

Banks do hire out of b-school, but mostly out of the top ones -- not Fordham. More like NYU or Columbia.
