<p>I am currently a high school student involved in the college process, and NU is one of the schools I've been looking at. I am fairly certain that I'd like to pursue a major in finance or economics to go into consulting or investment banking. While I know that recruiting for these jobs is much higher on the east coast, I was wondering if anyone could provide insight on how it is at NU? </p>
<p>Help would be greatly appreciated, because there are a variety of reasons I'd like to attend this school and I would like to know the job implications. Thanks!</p>
<p>Northwestern is a very strong regional target so we have a lot of companies come to recruit on campus. Just last week, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Bain gave company presentations amongst various other brand names.</p>
<p>If you want to work in Chicago area, NU has a strong alumni base that you can reach out to; NYC to a lesser extent.</p>
<p>Also, NU doesn’t offer a finance major, but we do have a heavily recruited program called MMSS and a certificate program in financial economics thats taught by Kellogg faculty.</p>
