<p>I would encourage you to take a look at the following two articles: </p>
<p>[Ivy</a> League is the best route to a job on Wall Street - Jun. 2, 2011](<a href=“http://money.cnn.com/2011/06/01/news/economy/ivy_league_advantage.fortune/index.htm]Ivy”>Ivy League is the best route to a job on Wall Street - Jun. 2, 2011)</p>
<p>[Wall</a> Street steps in when Ivy League fails - Washington Post](<a href=“http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2012-02-16/business/35445595_1_graduates-wall-street-students-end]Wall”>http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2012-02-16/business/35445595_1_graduates-wall-street-students-end)</p>
<p>The first is about research that shows college matters when you’re looking at positions for the top finance firms - specifically, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Wharton (UPenn), and Stanford. If you want distinction, here you have it in the second article. The percentage of Princeton grads who go into finance is more than double the percentage from Harvard or Yale. </p>
<p>While Princeton has no professional schools, it still places a higher number of its graduates in finance positions than its peers. You are also ignoring the fact that because Princeton does not have professional schools, its graduates go to Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc. professional schools. What happens to a Princeton alum who goes to Harvard Business School after completing a couple of years with a finance firm straight out of college? Does he stop being a Princeton alumnus?</p>
