I want to go into a career in finance (investment banking) after college for a couple of years, then get an MBA and work at a hedge fund. Which of these three schools would provide me with the best alumni network and frankly presige in the finance world?
Thank you!
Somehow I doubt all these wannabe Gordon “Greed is good” Gekkos and Donald “You’re fired!” Trumps even know what a hedge fund is. Future uber-capitalists go to HYPS or Wharton, or otherwise you are doomed, DOOMED, to be a plebe or peasant.
I think all you have to go by is anecdotal evidence. No LAC that I know of comes under the heading of “target school”, but, I’m pretty sure all three have connections on Wall Street. Bain&Co. interview at Wesleyan every year. And, there’s an annual bus trip that brings all the big east coast liberal arts colleges (Wesleyan, Swarthmore, Bowdoin, etc.) into NYC for a day of interviewing. One thing you may want to ask yourself regarding Pomona, is whether you’d rather wind up on the east coast or west coast after graduation?
