<p>I was wondering if you guys could help me come up with a good list of colleges. I've been recently looking at going into either consulting or investment banking, so I was wondering if you guys could help me come up with a good list of reaches, matches, safeties that would still give me a chance of getting a job in one of these competitive fields.</p>
<p>I'm not really into wharton, harvard, princeton, yale, stanford and such, so here are some schools I am VERY interested in as reaches: Northwestern and Cornell (my dream schools), Duke, Virginia, UCLA, UC-Berkeley, UNC-Chapel Hill. I obviously can't apply to all of these because then I wouldn't get in anywhere lol. So given my stats, can you help me come up with some schools that I can get into, but still have solid I-banking/consulting placement programs?</p>
