How good is recruiting at non-HYP?

Graduate School Business School - MBA

<p>You always hear about recruiting going on at HYP, but on behalf of those unable to attend HYP, I dare to ask how namely IB and business recruiting is like at other T20 schools:</p>

<p>Cornell
JHU
Carnegie Mellon
U of Chicago
Northwestern
NYU (not Stern)
Columbia
Dartmouth
Brown
London School of Economics (int'l, if anyone has any idea)
UVA
UPenn
Washington Univ.
Duke
Rice
Emory
Georgetown SFS and non SFS
UCLA/UCB</p>

<p>Long list, but I'm rather curious about this. Would not attending HYP or Stern or something make it overly difficult to get into IB? Thanks.</p>

<p>Consulting as well***</p>

<p>Hahahahah!</p>

<p>Is there a joke? Or am I correct in assuming there’s no recruiting at all at these schools?</p>

<p>Your question is funny because Yale does not have a particularly good MBA program and Princeton doesn’t have one at all. Your list of “non-HYP” MBA programs actually contains some of the best in the country, and hence recruiting at those programs is spectacular.d</p>

<p>Banking

  1. Harvard, Princeton, Wharton, Stanford, MIT
  2. Dartmouth, Yale
  3. Columbia, Duke, Penn
  4. Brown, Cornell, Northwestern
  5. Chicago, UVA, Georgetown, UCB (not Haas)</p>

<p>Less on radar: NYU (not stern), Rice, Emory, UCLA, WashU, Carnegie Mellon </p>

<p>Consulting looks pretty similar. All these schools will get recruited in some capacity, but the higher up you’re looking at what would generally be considered more prestigious firms.</p>

<p>is cornell CAS econ likely to be business/banking recruited? ( compared with liberal arts)</p>

<p>Another small question? Which is better for having a job in US for international students: universities like Notre Dame, BYU,…or top liberal arts like Colgate, Amherst?</p>

<p>^But that’s not the pecking order for MBA programs…Princeton doesn’t have an MBA program and Yale’s isn’t particularly elite by any means.</p>

<p>Yeah I put the pecking order for undergrad, not MBA programs.</p>

<p>For MBA its a totally different ballgame.</p>

<p>This is the MBA forum</p>

<p>FWIW, the way it used to be is: as you go down in the MBA pecking order the # top firms interviewing (and, more importantly, actually hiring people) there went down, and also the nature of the jobs those firms were interviewing for also went down.
If you wanted a “leading” job track at a leading firm you would be well served to attend the top 7 or so MBA schools. Below Cornell/ NYU you would probably have close to no chance anyplace. except for retail sales, where you could be practically anybody.</p>

<p>Things may be all different now though.</p>

<p>The lower level but still top 20 schools you could get good line jobs, but at the not-absolutely most elite firms. Also, at that level and lower, hiring becomes increasingly regional. Line jobs at regional firms, or regional branch offices of national firms.</p>

<p>If this is for MBAs its a totally different ballgame. 1) People tend to want PE, VC, and Hedge Fund jobs post MBA so getting into banking usually isn’t the top goal for people going into finance. 2) That list is not a top MBA list, its more of an undergrad list. For example Brown doesn’t even have an MBA program.</p>
