<p>After college, i want to become an investment banker and then move on to a prestigious hedge fund. Well, to do this, I need to go to the most prestigious and best academic school I can. The banks only recruit at the top schools, such as Harvard, Wharton, Princeton, Stanford, Dartmouth, Duke, Columbia,etc. I was wondering what schools only look at 10-12th grades? In 9th grade, I screwed up Bigtime and probably messed myself up for college. All im asking for is a list of the top colleges that either don't look at the 9th grade or only cares ALITTLE about it. From what I've heard around here, the schools are:
Stanford
Princeton
Dartmouth(9th grade doesn't matterMUCH to them)
UMich
Berkeley(UCAL)
UCLA
U of Chicago
UPenn(9th grade doesn't mean much to them and they count a high rank over gpa)
Cornell
My class rank is definetely top 10% as my high school BLOWS(Penn would appreciate this)</p>

<p>Seems like you have already done the research. That list seems pretty complete to me. I can’t add much, but those are most of the correct schools. If you are not sure you can get in to those schools still you could look in to Babson College, Notre Dame, UMICH, UVA, etc. which are good B-Schools were top firms do at least some recruiting.</p>
