<p>A Princeton degree is a not a sure ticket to a top bulge bracket firm. Though they may have sent more grads to IB than WashU does, there is no guarantee that they can place all their grads to IB. In fact, I would expect that a number of their grads don’t really make it at all, even at the interview stage. And, whilst that is true, a number of WashU grads do end up getting a job as IBiers. If you’ll do really well at WashU, there’s a high possibility that you’ll get the job that you want. </p>
<p>Take the full-ride from WashU. It is a very good school, and not that far behind Princeton in terms of respect amongst employers. </p>
