<p>Taken seriously by i-banks? Or overlooked in favour of the Wharton kids? </p>
<p>For Alexandre: in regard to your tiering of target schools, where does a non-Wharton UPenn student fit? Would a 3.5 at the College fare as well as a 3.5 from Wharton?</p>
<p>Yes, ibanks recruit heavily in the College as well. The selection process is much more complicated than just GPA and school name (its recruiting, not college apps). What you can show/say during your interview is probably the biggest factor in getting hired.</p>
<p>You don't need to graduate summa cum laude from Harvard or Wharton to get into ibanking. Now if you're talking VC/PE...</p>
<p>Non-Wharton Penn students are heavily recruited by IBanks. I believe last year, close to 200 mon-Wharton Penn undergrads go jobs at Ibanks. If you can maintain a good GPA (3.5+), and if you take the initiative, I'd say your chances of landing a good IBanking job would be good.</p>
