<p>Undergrads at which of these schools do best at being recruited by Wall Street IB both in terms per-capita?</p>
<p>Too close to call. Probably won't matter to you personally.</p>
<p>At Penn you have Wharton classes available to you as well as the same recruiting that comes for Wharton students. While you might be slightly lower on the recruiter's list because you're not in Wharton, you can still use it to your advantage. Having classes like Accounting and Finance available to you can only help you when you apply for jobs at investment banks. However, the prospect of slightly (marginally) better recruiting and a few classes shouldn't influence your decision that much.</p>
<p>From what I saw in my and friends' analyst classes,
Penn (Wharton)>Dartmouth=Duke=Williams>Penn (non-Wharton).</p>
<p>I certainly wouldn't be choosing between Dartmouth, Williams, Duke based on any supposed advantage in investment banking recruiting, which at that level and similarly respected level of school will depend on you and not the school and more likely than not will not pertain to you anyway.</p>
<p>All of these schools are great for IB. It really depends on the individual.</p>
<p>18 of the top 20 banks recruit at Williams, but they are all pretty equal at this stage, its about the individual.</p>
<p>I would say Duke Dartmouth and Williams are all top choices. Penn would be slightly lower down for IB but still a solid option.</p>
<p>"18 of the top 20 banks recruit at Williams, but they are all pretty equal at this stage, its about the individual."</p>
<p>What is your definition of the top 20 banks? With the amount of consolidation in the last 10 years, I don't know if 20 IBs actually recruit UGs for analyst positions.</p>
<p>Dude 20 top banks? What are you talking about? There are 11 banks that I consider large enough to consider 'top':</p>
<ul>
<li>GS MS LB ML</li>
<li>DB, UBS, CS, JPM</li>
<li>BC, Wachovia, BOA</li>
</ul>
<p>Maybe Sun Trust, are you including like Evercore, Lazard, and Moelis - places which don't recruit at Williams anyways?</p>
<p>johnnyhoward3,
What is your definition of a "top bank"</p>
<p>What the heck is BC? Citigroup should be up there and Wachovia shouldn't.</p>
<p>All are very strong, Dartmouth as the slight edge, but likely not enough to make a substantial difference.</p>
<p>BC is most likeley referring to the Boston Consulting Group.</p>
<p>Boston Consulting Group isn't even a bank...</p>
<p>I forgot Citi, should be on there. BC is Barclays Capital. Its pretty big in the debt scene, especially in Africa and Asia. Not much US M and A but there's much more than M and A.</p>
<p>BCG is a MC firm, I personally don't like BCG and think its in a second tier to McK and Bain, but all three are top places that recruit the same level of talent (or even more in some ways) as IB's.</p>
<p>I think I'd have to go with Dartmouth has having a fairly significant edge here. Take it for what you may but Blackstone's PE division only has 5 targets: Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Penn-Wharton and Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Dartmouth!</p>
<p>Darting Mouth all the way…better party scene than all the others</p>
