<p>Does anyone know of any non-target schools for IB which still send people to Wall Street? I want to major in finance or economics (preferably a bs) with the hope of one day reaching Wall Street as an investment banker, though I would start out in financial analysis. I was thinking that an east coast school would be best since they are closest to Wall Street but I'm not sure. My stats:</p>
<p>3.2 uw (3.5 w)
top 46%
32 ACT, 10 writing
6 APs, 2 honors
8 ECs</p>
<p>Any help would greatly be appreciated. Some schools that peaked my interest are Holy Cross, Fordham, and Loyola (MD) but I'm open to any suggestions you might have. Thanks!</p>
<p>Wall Street often only hires from a select group of target schools which includes Ivies and a few others. None of the schools you listed are targets. Your question would be better suited in the admissions forum. After you research to find out what the target schools are go to those forums and ask what your chances are.</p>
<p>Oh sorry. I guess I just was wondering if it’s possible to get a Wall Street job from a non-target. You say it isn’t?</p>
<p>Both Fordham and Holy Cross provide summer internships at several top tier Wall Street firms and these firms also recruit at both colleges. The CEO of Oppenheimer Funds is an HC grad.</p>
<p>That’s what I like to hear! Do you know if they would offer them to econ students or just b-school students?</p>
<p>Wow. That’s really helpful. Is it worth taking out a lot of private loans in order to pay for a college like Holy Cross because it seems like it would be if it’s possible to get my dream job.</p>
<p>Holy Cross offers financial assistance based on need, so apply and see what kind of finanical package they will offer and make your decision then. Your other choice could be go to to a less expensive undergrad and do super well and try to get into a top ten MBA program.</p>
<p>Since I figure you graduated from HC, I’m just wondering if you are familiar with any other patriot league schools like Lafayette or Bucknell and their ties to Wall Street. But you have definitely convinced me to take a really close look at HC. Thanks.</p>
<p>Bucknell and Colgate also have strong ties to Wall Street.</p>
<p>Can anybody rank top undergraduate business programs in New York?</p>
<p>Best undergrad rankings for business school are done by Business Week which you can find here:</p>
<p>[Business</a> School Rankings and Profiles: EMBA, Executive Education, MBA, Part-time MBA, Distance MBA](<a href=“Bloomberg - Are you a robot?”>Bloomberg - Are you a robot?)</p>
<p>Those rankings are so wrong… .They put Upenn 4th…</p>
<p>^But, I would like to know particular rankings of undergraduate business programs in New York. Anybody knows? Or, can you state them in your opinion.</p>
<p>IMO I would say NYU, Cornell, Syracuse, and Fordham are the top 4. In that order.</p>
<p>Go to Wall Street Oasis. Those people know a lot more then most (except a select few). You could break into it from a non-target. Just a lot more calling, resume dropping, and etc. You may not get BB work, but they count experience more then where you come from, at most places. </p>
<p>And Bucknell and Colgate? Not really. </p>
<p>Go look At University of Indiana at Bloomington. If you get into their workshop you will be in a great position. Honestly, you would get better answers at WSO.</p>
<p>Indiana is definitely a good choice. I should probably major in finance over econ though because of Kelley correct? Major in finance and minor in econ would probably be solid too.</p>
