<p>Because people who attend Ivy League school obviously have horrible personalities.</p>
<p>I was wondering as a possible future Emory student, unless I raise my SATs to Duke or Ivy level, why isn't Emory recruited very much?
Their business school has consistantly ranked 3-5 in the recent years...</p>
<p>Just wondering as a prosective Emory student...</p>
<p>Thanks to all who respond :)</p>
<p>wat are u talking about
emory is recruited</p>
<p>Emory isn't anywhere near a top recruited school for the most prestigious BBs like Goldman. They probably place well into BBs in NY, but not very well at the best few BBs that people on CC focus on.</p>
<p>Emory is not well recruited in comparison to top targets, like Ivies + MIT/S/Duke. It places a lot in middle/back office jobs, which is why there are actually some decent stats. It is a semi target, comparable to McCombs, Mendoza, Tepper, etc.</p>
<p>of course its not as recruited as the top schools what do u expect
but if u excel, the name of Emory won't 'bring you down'</p>
<p>so is NYU a non-ivy target? or a semi?</p>
<p>Stern is a non-ivy target</p>
<p>I would put Stern in between a target and a semi-target.</p>
<p>Don't listen to anything AdmissConsulting says. He clearly has no idea what he is talking about and has said many, many, false statements.</p>
<p>Stern is most definitely a target school. It's arguably the second best b-school in the country and is one of the most represented and heavily recruited schools. However, it is somewhat difficult to get a job from there since you're competing against all the other intense Stern kids.</p>
<p>From every other source I've read, Stern is a target...</p>
<p>This stern debate always comes up (pun intended). Before you accuse me of knowing absolutely nothing, you should probably know that I've probably had more experience at a BB than you've had years on earth. Here is why I said that I'd put it between a target, and a semi-target. </p>

<p>Obviously Stern supporters feel very passionately about their school, regardless of the forum. I intended to highlight the very passionate debate between Stern supporters and detractors.</p>
<p>First of all, I dislike Stern as much as anyone. In fact, I hate Stern kids. They are extremely competitive, very one-dimensional, and have a chip on their shoulders (maybe because they wish they went to an ivy-league school, or think they deserve better recruiting because they know more finance than 90% of everyone else out there). I don't go to Stern and am not a supporter.</p>
<p>Second of all, I have BB experience and know what I'm talking about. I summer-ed for two years and am going full this year. Training has just started.</p>
<p>Finally, I highly doubt you ever set foot in a BB. Not only is it because of your outrageous posts, but also because you're a compulsive liar. You claim to have more experience at BBs than my age? Hmm... I guess that means you're AT LEAST a managing director, if not partner. If you're making millions, why are you on a college forum under the AdmissConsulting username? </p>
<p>Do you really think pointing to a thread on WSO is going to validate your Stern is a non-target argument? Gimme a break</p>
<p>cryptography- what's the big deal here? I don't think admissconsulting is trying to start anything at lall. He said that he'd put Stern between a "target and a semi-target," which I don't necessarily find to be that offensive . It's not like he's saying Stern is a "non-target." Obviously the age thing he said is probably a huge stretch, but w/e, it's an internet forum, what're you gonna do.</p>
<p>I'm just arguing that Stern is most definitely a target, and I don't know why people don't consider it one. Stern is probably the top feeder school outside of the ivies, stanford duke, and MIT.</p>

<p>Not in my or friends' analyst classes it wasn't. There were more from: Williams, Amherst, Bowdoin, Middlebury, Colgate, Hamilton, Colby, BC, UVA, UMichigan, Northwestern, Georgetown, Cal/Berkeley, Notre Dame. Maybe things have changed in more recent years.</p>
<p>Hey gellino, can you stop posting? If we wanted information on how to get into banking 20 years ago, we'd ask you. Times have changed. Getting into BBs is not a walk in the park anymore - going to Colby surely won't cut it. Thanks for trying, though.</p>
<p>Stern is a top non-Ivy target. Fact.</p>
<p>It wasn't remotely close to 20 years ago and it was probably more difficult when I started to get into an IB analyst class because there were less positions available when I started than the current state of bloated IBs now; not to mention that I still work within the industry. </p>
<p>I'm sure that Colby grads are still finding their ways into IB classes. According to collegedata, avg SAT at Colby is higher than at NYU and acceptance rate at Colby is lower. NYU hasn't magically transformed into a magical top 15 school in the last 10 years depsite the general renaissance of American cities. Others on here have noted that NYU UG is not as widely represented as NYU MBA within IB as well. </p>
<p>Your arrogance notwithstanding, times may have changed; however, the content of what is entailed to do the job and the qualities that recruiters are seeking has not.</p>
<p>Your points are valid, but it has nothing to do with NYU as a school. For all I know, Colby students are much more intelligent and more qualified than NYU students. But if you've worked in banking than you know that Wall Street is a very prestige-oriented place. NYU Stern UG fits that bill (deservedly or not, that is up for debate). The fact of the matter is that Stern places extremely well because of its location, its practical approach in spitting out bankers, its strong finance department, and its alumni network. Personally, I think everything about that school blows, but recruiters love the place. Why? Beats me. I'd take someone from Middlebury/Swarthmore/Bowdoin before a Sternie but that's just me.</p>
<p>While Wall Street may be a prestige-filled place, I've never felt that NYU was really regarded that way, but more as a somewhat more convenient way for banks to pick up a few top people. I guess in none of my positions has NYU UG been viewed in that high regard and maybe, resultingly, have met relatively few throughout my career.</p>
