<p>wait... so you two are telling me that top firms only take job applications from their 'core' schools and don't even bother glancing at applications from other well-respected and prestigious institutions that 1) may not have a large enough interested student body deserving of expansive recruitment effort (i.e. sfs students generally more interested in pursuing ir/academia careers as opposed to many more NU econ majors who are more interested in pursuing banking/consulting) or 2) doesn't offer majors directly applicable to the intended job (georgetown sfs obviously doesn't offer finance and regular econ)</p>
<p>seriously, that's just absurd. top firms (consulting and even ibanking), btw, don't discriminate based on major. it says on their career websites that they seek both individuals with pre-professional degrees as well as those with liberal arts and other degrees.</p>
<p>also, i know for a fact that gtown is well recruited by ibanks (something that i previously mentioned i only had minor interest in)</p>
<p>my questions in this thread is more so focused on the learning environment and which school better prepares you and helps you develop the skills necessary to excel in either consulting (or ibanking/law school/PE,Hedge funds)</p>
