<p>I know that these campuses are a LOT different from each other, but I wanted to ask a simple question that I hope doesn't have a too complicated answer.</p>
<p>Which school is more likely to eventually lead to an Investment Banking job? It doesn't necessarily have to be straight out of undergrad, it could be a few years down the road after going to a b-school.</p>
<p>Would it be the Trojan network or Emory's location on the East Coast?</p>
<p>Both are around the same?? I guess Emory is slightly more prestigious on the east coast. If you want to do investment banking look at NYU or BC…</p>
<p>if the “Trojan Network” were other than a 20 yr. old fiction, and really only applicable to the Big 8 accounting firms and some Regional banks, than why were over half of the undergraduate Marshall School grads from 2009 still looking for jobs when 2010 came around?</p>
<p>In this day and age, the quality of a network is defined by the prestige of the school. There is no magic formula for a lower prestige school being more network-desirable than a higher prestige school.</p>
<p>I see… well, both of them will cost basically the same for me, given I’m an international student.</p>
<p>So it seems that Emory would be a better choice? I’m applying to Stern as well, but that seems to be more of a reach than either USC or Emory.</p>
<p>^ If you plan to work in Asia or the West Coast, USC would have a better network. If on the East Coast, then Emory.</p>
<p>If you plan to work outside the US other than Asia, I’d say it’s a 50/50 decision.</p>
<p>yeah i chose usc over emory because no one in hong kong has even heard of emory (although i know emory is more prestigious generally to ppl who know it).</p>
<p>Hm… so it can basically be said that Emory generally has a higher prestige than USC (for Business at least)? Not that I’m looking only at prestige, but I’m just wondering which one of these would be a better place to network in.</p>
<p>I’ve looked at the statistics for USC and only 17% of their Business majors end up performing Financial Services, which is rather low…</p>
