<p>This is my version of ranking in terms of the pure number of recruitments to BB I-Banking firms in each school. Am I roughly correct?</p>
<p>Also, if I were to consider aspects like overall competitivness of the schools, (i.e. huge portion of Stern students wanting to get into I-Banking as opposed to only a handful wants an I-Banking job at Dartmouth) would the rankings change?</p>
<p>NYU Stern is my top choice right now, and I was wondering if other schools have edge over Stern or vice versa.</p>
<p>It’d be great to hear about this from you guys, any inputs will be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>The list consists of schools that I have applied / thinking of applying to. I know that Wharton and HYPS tops in pretty much everything, but for the purpose of this thread just look at those schools listed.</p>
<p>why do you think like that BalletGirl? I know that an I-Banking is an extremely distressing job, but I have always wanting to become some sort of a fund manager. And to keep this thread from going off-topic, please keep throwing your thoughts guys.</p>
<p>ok, ok, great clarification. Look for schools with great finance programs.</p>
<p>Definitely, definitely look at Wharton and I also hear Cal-Berkeley is great. My brother (14) wants to be a money manager. He's a math whiz and he tells me those are his top schools. Talk about needing to get a life (14)! ;)</p>
<p>Dartmouth Econ places better than NYU Stern</p>
<p>The top programs in your list are roughly in this order for BB recruitment:</p>
<ol>
<li>Dartmouth/Duke (other than HPWharton- Dartmouth, Yale, Columbia, Duke place the most)</li>
<li>NYU Stern (due to location and business undergrad)</li>
<li>UMich Ross/Berkeley Haas (although it should be noted that only UMich has a preadmit Ross program whereas Berkeley you have to run the gambit and apply sophmore year)</li>
</ol>
<p>Northwestern and Cornell are also target schools... but the competition is extremely intense for those very limited few jobs. </p>
<p>If you don't want to go to Wharton, then Penn's SAS econ degree is still an excellent option, and gives you access to the same classes as wharton kids so you can take finance etc if you choose</p>
<p>Realize Cal Berkeley's Haas School of Business only accepts students at the junior level. You have to apply to Berkeley as "Undecided - Pre-Business" as a freshman. Be sure to check out the prerequisites for Haas on the website. It's very competitive for admission. Also, the application deadline for UCs has passed for Fall 2008 admission.</p>
<p>Lol, I don't know where you get your information from, but I know MDs from BB firms and I can assure you that Northwestern has more representation on the street than both Dartmouth and Duke.</p>
<p>Its not on your list but a not so sleepy sleeper would be Fordham. There are a LOT of Fordham grads on Wallstreet....including some CEO's of WallStreet firms. Fordham is highly respected on the street and its alumnae association is vigorous and they look out for each other. Plus its an awesome school with SUPERB opportunities for summer jobs etc.</p>
<p>Don't forget Chicago has a lot of opportunities too and a lot of Northwestern grads stay around there instead of going to NYC.</p>
<p>Yes, don't forgoet MMSS; it's placement is really good. Try to get into one of the two Kellogg certificate programs; one of them just started this fall and another started next fall. Based on the pre-requisites, this is probably the most rigorous undergrad program in the country. According to an article on their website, they already got a lot of interest from many firms.</p>
<p>does anyone know where I can find the information on the actual numbers of Summer Analyst positions at BB firms recruited from each school or some sort of data sheet similar to it?</p>
