<p>How do Math/Econ majors from the College fare in the job market with respect to ibanking and the like?</p>
<p>Students tell us that "among the Ivies, Penn seems to be the most career-oriented, as fewer students here are on the academia track than at other schools. Many students take jobs right out after graduation rather than go to graduate school, and Penn does an excellent job of placing these students." Indeed, "a very large number of students grab the country's most prestigious jobs for undergrads: investment banking, consulting, and private equity."</p>
<p>That came from PR, although I don't trust them too much, I have had many other confirmations of this fact.</p>
<p>I have also heard that both recruiters and Penn career services itself is more interested in placing Wharton students than equally-qualified College students.</p>
<p>When we went to citigroup this summer for a presentation, 1 trader and 2 i-bankers were wharton grads. However, the second trader did the PPE program at the College and said that plenty of people from the college land big jobs.</p>
<p>Someone posted a graduate survey for people majoring in econ at the college. It was very strong however I cant seem to find it. Take a look through the threads. Should be around here somewhere.</p>
