So true. For example, in financial centers like Hong Kong, it’s more likely that a person working at high finance or management consulting has heard of Northwestern due to Kellogg (actually practically anyone interested in MBA has heard of it because of the joint HKUST-Kellogg program).</p>
<p>I forgot to post: I’m Northwestern-bound. I truly feel like I made the right choice.</p>
<p>Go Wildcats!</p>
<p>Thanks for the update!!! You made a great choice.</p>
<p>Great choice-- welcome to Northwestern! I love Brown, but it doesn’t make sense in your case.</p>
<p>Another NU success story: An NU grad Econ major with Kellog certificate, my son interned three summers in NYC at high profile finance firms. He also interned at Goldman Sachs in Chicago during his second year spring quarter… for good pay, and college credit. The commute by train was easy. He worked Mon -Thurs and attended a class Fridays. We are from the northeast, and know that interest in Northwestern is skyrocketing.</p>
<p>Another Wildcat success story!</p>
<p>I would ultimately choose Brown due to the power of its alumni network. After all, Brown is an Ivy League school meaning the alumni are extremely connected throughout the country and especially in Wall Street.</p>
<p>If you are really thinking of the east coast after college, I would consider Brown, Penn of Tufts. I do think Brown has slightly more prestige than NU nationally, and on east coast, Brown, Tufts and Penn have great alumni networks and connections, and are much more known on the east coast</p>
<p>^^The OP chose Northwestern over Brown already.
Brown does not have particularly strong connection at Wall Street. I don’t know where you got the opposite idea. I don’t know the reason for sure but I suspect it’s because Wall Street want the competitive and aggressive type, not the uber-liberal, friendly, non-competitive type that Brown is known for; I also think the people that are aspired for IB aren’t as drawn to Brown at the first place. People love Brown for its open curriculum and friendly atmosphere. Wall Street is about winning, very hierarchical, and never known for being friendly.</p>
<p>Tufts may be more known than NU in Boston but Boston is just a tiny dot on the east coast; it doesn’t represent the whole coast.</p>
<p>What about Tufts being well known in NYC…JPMORGAN CHASE’s CEO is a Tufts Graduate. Tufts is very well known on Wall Street. NYC is a very large dot on the east coast and the world for its financial jobs. Wall Street recruits aggressively at Tufts. Also, don’t let Brown’s reputation fool you. You are just speculating. Brown is very heavily recruited by Wall Street firms…</p>
<p>Tufts is a pretty good school. It’s not quite on Duke, NU, Penn, or Brown’s level, though. Having one CEO doesn’t mean it’s well known, especially comparatively. This is a moot point</p>
<p>bahaahahahahaha</p>
<p>^That’s new to me. Try to enter “Tufts” into the search box on WallStreetOasis and you’ll see there’s hardly any match coming up.</p>
<p>I don’t cite some Wall Street Gossip Forum. Goldman Sachs comes to Tufts. Fact. Again, Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan went to Tufts and actively recruits there. Fact. Not a moot point. To say that Tufts is not well known on Wall Street seems to stem from insecurity. NU is one of the best universities in the country but sometimes I think that this forum thinks it is the best. There are several fine institutions.I recognize it…Now, let’s not start talking about tech jobs…Boston is the second leading tech area in the country, behind Silicon Valley…The world is more than black and white.</p>
<p>^All the BB come to NU; it doesn’t mean NU is as heavily targeted as Wharton. Coming doesn’t automatically mean targeting as heavily as targeting Harvard/Wharton.</p>
<p>^As an illustration, look at McKinsey’s campus recruiting.

<p>There are basically 4 tiers:

<p>Boston/Cambridge is the top Biotech region in the world. Tufts PreMeds do research at Tufts, Harvard and MIT labs as well as Tufts and Harvard hospitals and surrounding biotech companies.</p>
<p>Both Tufts and Harvard have a higher research citation rate than Penn in Clinical disciplines:</p>
<p>Clinical, Pre-Clinical and Health (i.e. Pre-Med) research citation rates</p>
<p>Harvard 93.2
Tufts 93.2</p>
<p>UPenn 87.2
Columbia 87.1
Yale 85.1</p>
<p>Cornell 81.1
Northwestern 81.1</p>
