How does UIUC/UIC do in investment banking/consulting?

<p>I'm at a public university in Illinois and I'm wondering if UIUC & UIC are good schools to transfer to for lucrative business jobs.</p>

<p>U of I at Urbana-Champaign ranks 13th for undergraduate finance and U of I at Chicago ranks 23rd which seems pretty good.</p>

<p>UIC is located just west of the downtown financial district in Chicago, so I was thinking that (like NYU's Stern next to Wall street) since it's right next to the Loop (downtown Chicago) that it would be a great place to land business jobs.</p>

<p>What do you guys think about UIUC/UIC for an instate Illinois resident majoring in finance?</p>

<p>u gotta get high GPAs (around 3.8-4.0 range) and take initiatives and hopefully get connections.</p>
