<p>I want to major in Econ, Finance, or Political Science and be an Investment Banker.</p>

<p>My first question- What are my chances at getting into one of the following if I apply to all: Brown, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, Yale, UChicago, Northwestern, Georgetown, NYU, UIllinois B-school, University of Virginia</p>

<p>Second question- Should I be more worried about getting into the most prominent undergrad school for i-bank recruiting OR doing awesome wherever I go and then go for an MBA at another high-ranking university?</p>

2

<p>UVA - match (even safety)
Brown-Princeton-Yale-Harvard - high reach (you are not completely into something specific)</p>

<p>about your second question I have to ask does tuition and money play a significant role in your decision or not?</p>

3

<p>Well, if I were to get accepted into an Ivy then no because of the need-blind financial aid. But other than that, I haven't really researched grad school tuition.</p>

4

<p>If you want to get recruited right out of undergrad, go for the most prestigious college possible. But obviously there are other routes. </p>

<p>I don't know a lot about this, but there's an investment banking board and an MBA board here on CC. You can look for more info there.</p>
