<p>How is the recruiting at Cornell? I'm currently interning for Goldman Sachs and want to shop around. I have a nice little network of recruiters and directors for different banks, but how is the on-campus recruiting at Cornell? On-campus recruiting really is an extremely valuable resource where I've landed nearly all of my job offers (Lehman Brothers, Goldman, JPMorgan, etc), so I've never had to tap into my network. </p>
<p>I know some of these firms come to recruit, but how often and how many students? Do the AEM students typically take them up? What about ILR?</p>
<p>At St. John's, Goldman Sachs comes to present on campus all the time (twice last month). I'll be studying at ILR, so if any ILR-specific students could help shed light on this, that'd be great.</p>
<p>It's probably the determining factor in my decision to either attend NYU or Cornell. I love both schools and couldn't care less about prestige, so I'm trying to determine which might make me happier career-wise.</p>
<p>lol wait, what? I know there's a member called splintercell here, but what does that have to do with anything? If you think I'm splintercell, look at our past posts, completely diff language, and I've been posting in the NYU forums for like a year until I got into Cornell. Not the same person.</p>
<p>^^The poster knows you're not splintercell50....I assume he made that post in anticipation of splintercell50 coming in and asking another rather silly question about the impact being a "SUNY ILR" student will have on his chances for a high paying job...</p>
<p>Why don't you speak with some of the people in your vast "network" to ask them about Cornell recruiting? If you are already at GS, why don't you make an appointment with their Cornell recruiters in their HR department to ask them what they think of Cornell grads? </p>
<p>We can tell you how great Cornell's placement is until we're blue in the face... but you have the "connections" to find out from the companies. ;)</p>
<p>I'm not sure where the sarcasm is comming from with regards to "vast network"; I specifically said "little network" because it's only HR, analysts, and the directors I have worked under in the past.</p>
<p>I have asked people I've worked with. My Director is a Cornell alum, but HR and everyone says the same thing, "Yeah, it's an ivy league, we recruit directly from there for all of our divisions," but that's the same case with NYU. </p>
<p>HR can tell you which schools they recruit from for one firm, but, as a student, I know how many students each firm hires, how many interviews are given out, selectivity, dates, etc. HR would never reveal hard statistics and selectivity info like that. </p>
<p>Just thought it would be best to hear from those who have gone through it. Still open to suggestions, but I guess I'll just go up to Cornell later this week.</p>
