<p>I'll be majoring in either Econ or Finance. I'm looking to go into IB, so I'd like a school that's recruited by the BB with a strong Alumni network. Each of these is so appealing, I'm having a hard time choosing!</p>
<p>A penny for your thoughts.</p>
<p>Anyone at all?</p>
<p>From what I’ve heard, Dartmouth has the best reputation on Wall Street by far (of those three). Apparently, Dartmouth is just below Harvard, Yale, and Princeton for I-Banking. I don’t really know though, as I’m not looking into that field.</p>
<p>yea Dartmouth does really really well in the financial sector, I don’t really know about UVA and Georgetown.</p>
<p>Dartmouth>Georgetown=UVa for Wall Street recruiting, but if you’re in state for UVa and not getting much or any money from Dartmouth, I would recommend UVa.</p>
<p>I’m surprised to learn that Dartmouth is so high on the recruiting list, given it’s seemingly isolated nature when compared to Gtown, which is right in D.C.</p>
<p>Recruiting for finance is pretty location agnostic. Being in a city doesn’t really offer an advantage. All the top recruiters make their way to Hanover and recruit heavily.</p>
<p>Dartmouth blows the other two out of the water. Not even close. Gtown is in DC, but are you planning to do IB in DC? How many BB’s have their IB headquarters in DC? Just think about what you wrote.</p>
<p>Unless you have a serious money at UVA or some compelling fit reason for gtown, I would Dartmouth all the way.</p>
<p>Confidentialcoll: My “fit reason” might be the city life? I like the opportunities a metropolitan city like D.C. has, but the turnoff of Georgetown for me is its lackluster green space, especially when compared to a place like Dartmouth. I’m not super outdoorsy, but I’d like to be able to step out onto a lawn somewhere and see green. Does that make sense?</p>
<p>IvyPBear: Yeah, I guess that doesn’t make much sense. But I’m not planning to do IB in Hanover either lol … is it really that “location agnostic,” even in Hanover, like slipper says?</p>

<p>slipper is absolutely right. Dartmouth’s location wouldn’t be a problem. Location doesn’t matter unless you are right in NYC. I do think Columbia students benefit (maybe just a little) from Columbia’s location. Here’s how the recruiting process work. Step 1: alums from BB’s come back on campus (Hanover, Boston, New Haven, Ithaca, etc.) and conduct first rounds of interviews. Step 2: selected students may go through another round on campus or over the phone. Step 3: finally, the bank would fly a few selected candidates to NYC and conduct final rounds of interviews (super day) there. Regardless of whether you are in DC, Hanover, or Palo Alto, the bank would have to fly you in for the final rounds if you want to work in NYC. Banks don’t care about small amounts of money such as plane tickets, hotel, etc.</p>
