<p>I am leaning toward ED Brown, but I was worried about a Econ degree from Brown in terms of bulge bracket I-bank recruiting?
I have heard that Dartmouth has an overwhelming edge when it come to the Street.
Could anyone tell me more about this?</p>
<p>Dartmouth has an amazing presence on the street, but Brown absolutely does well.</p>
<p>At one point we were the number 1 recruits for Goldman Sachs.</p>
<p>It doesn't matter, any ivy can lead you pretty easily to i-banking, choose the school that you prefer.</p>
<p>Both are fine, but I'd say Dartmouth has an edge. I also wouldn't characterize it as leading you "pretty easily." You have to work to get a position as a summer analyst or new hire, and then you also have to work once you're there (unless you're just going to be a money monkey who works as an analyst for 1 year then leaves).</p>
<p>Poster, why is it that you feel you must find an argument with absolutely everything that Jason writes? He is obviously better informed than you are, as he is a Brown student and you are not. Please pick your battles! You hurt any credibility you might have in this incessant sniping.</p>
<p>Blah blah blah, I'm a member of crew that needs to make everyone who does finance feel better about themselves, blah blah blah...</p>
<p>Lots of people work on Wall Street and in particular do i-banking from out of the Ivy League. Like anything else, you need the grades, the drive, and the ethic, and while the field is competitive, it's a field with considerable recruitment out of all the Ivy League schools.</p>
<p>If I-banking is what you want to do, any of the Ivy League schools will provide you with a great opportunity to do so, though of course, as with anything in life, you must cease that opportunity and make the most with it.</p>
<p>Listen, for I-banking, it's that Ivy tag that'll help you more than anything else. Brown or Dartmouth, it won't matter...take your pick!</p>
<p>i sure hope you are right, tetrisfan. because my parents aren't shelling out $$$ for grad school, so I have to get a decent job after graduation. Even though i think i will go for one of those one-year European MBA things, they still cost major bucks.</p>
