<p>I wanted to inquire how Brown stands on wall street. In other words, are students of Brown highly recruited at wall street or types of organizations such as Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, etc? How would you compare Brown’s position to that of Harvard and peer schools in this case?
Furthermore, will there be many campus interviews for seniors to let them have their jobs guaranteed after graduation?
Where typically Brownians are making an internship? (I mean, the people who want to pursue their careers in finances, banking,etc).
And finally, what majors do these kind of people study?
Thank you a lot. I hope you can make aware of what is unique with brown in this perspective. I really need your help fellow CC-ers.</p>
<p>Brown, out of all the Ivies, I’d say has the weakest presence on Wall Street, most likely because most students at Brown aren’t interested in finance jobs (at least, compared to peer institutions). That’s not to say they aren’t recruited though.</p>
<p>FWIW, I can’t think of a single classmate i knew who was interested in being on wall street who isn’t on wall street right now.</p>
<p>There were recruiting events all the time and the career office seems like it was built around finance jobs (one of my complaints if you’re not going into finance)</p>
<p>Thank you for your advices both CC-ers.
But would you be able to compare Brown to Harvard and peer schools in this perspective? In other words, does average joe at wall street(GENERALLy finance) recognize high level of education at Brown? Will Brownian be put on disadvantage when for example haravrdian is applying for the job that Brownian is applying too.
And finally, which major brownians take in order to pursue their career in finances?
thnxs a lot. I hope you can help.</p>
<p>Azer: I don’t really think that a Brown alum will be seen as disadvantaged when compared to a Harvard alum when applying for jobs on Wall Street. It’ll probably depend much more on their previous experience and relevant classes than where they attended school. I would suggest that the “weaker presence” of Brown students on Wall Street is just due to fewer students being interested in finance careers.</p>
<p>Concentrations (what we call majors here at Brown): probably Econ most of all. Others: Applied Math-Econ, CS-Econ, Applied Math, BEO ([Business</a>, Entrepreneurship and Organizations](<a href=“Welcome | Office of the Registrar”>Welcome | Office of the Registrar)), Math-Econ, etc.</p>

<p>Portmanteau: yeah, me too. I was trying to find a link to explain it and realized it changed. It’s still COE for people who declared concentrations before this spring.</p>
