Dartmouth vs. Wharton

<p>Does Wharton blow Dartmouth out of the water in terms of IB recruiting?</p>

<p>In 2007, 48.2% of all Wharton grads (about 200) received offers in IB. In the same year, Dartmouth sent 36 to IB.</p>

<p>In 2007 418 employers went to Wharton for recruiting, Dartmouth had 170 on campus.</p>

<p>But you are comparing apples with oranges.</p>

<p>You’re right; I am comparing apples to oranges. So,</p>

<p>If I attend Dartmouth and have an interest in pursuing IB, will I have a hard time landing an interview and getting the job?</p>

<p>If you do well at either school you’ll be able to land an interview. From that point on the school doesn’t matter too much, its much more about how much they like you and think you’ll be a good fit.</p>

<p>cbreeze that post doesn’t even begin to make sense. Wharton is the bschool at PENN–of course a disproportionate amount of Wharton grads are going to go into Ibanking. </p>

<p>Are all the students at Dartmouth econ/biz majors? How does the pool of econ/biz majors at Dartmouth compare to the ~410 from Wharton? Differences in average starting salary (scaled to living expenses), quality of recruiting employers (seems prima facie obvious), and other factors are also relevant. Like you’ve said: apples to oranges. </p>

<p>IRJunkie - Wharton obviously has great recruiting and blows almost every other school out of the water in this aspect. In this case, however, the blowing-out-of-the-water is contained to a minimum. Plenty of Dartmouth grads have placed well on the street and continue to do well in investment banking. </p>

<p>With that said, the two schools are very different. Find the one best-suited to your needs (hey if it’s ibank recruiting then so be it). Best of luck.</p>
