<p>I would like to know how these schools rank in getting into a competative field like I-Banking. </p>
<p>-UPenn (Wharton)
-NYU (Stern)
-UMich (Ross)
-Harvard</p>
<p>I assume they are ranked (from most to least) Wharton, Harvard, Ross, Nyu, right? </p>
<p>Also, would it be possible to get into any BB firm from any 4 of these? Are they all heavily recruited?</p>
<p>You can pretty much get any job you want at a BB in NYC from any of those schools although i would rank it harvard, wharton, stern, ross.</p>
<p>Harvard/Wharton
Stern/Ross</p>
<p>just from what ive read...</p>
<p>Harvard/Wharton
----------------->Obviously there is a gap but how big is it?
Ross/Stern</p>
<p>Moderately large. However, Stern and Ross are still heavily recruited by the BBs.</p>
<p>Can someone define "feeders" and "BBs"?</p>
<p>The gap is very large</p>
<p>"Feeders" are schools that are known to send a lot of students to a given field/firm/institution/whatever, in this case banking. Your competitive high school might be described as a feeder to the ivy league, for example. It can be for anything.</p>
<p>"BB" firms are the "bulge bracket" investment banks. You can think of them like the ivy league of investment banking. They are the biggest players in their field by both reputation and performance on the league tables. So they have very high revenues, number of deals, value of deals, etc. They're also the biggest banks. A strong boutique or middle market player cannot be part of the BB. Since it is not an official designation, unlike the ivy league status, many people disagree about which firms should be included. Generally, it's Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, JPMorgan, UBS. I would add Deutsche Bank, but many consider it a second tier, at least in the U.S.</p>
<p>Thanks red.</p>
<p>Bear Sterns? Credit Suisse?</p>
<p>Where would haas fit in that list?</p>
<p>There are rumors that Bear Sterns is going bankrupt so I definitely wouldn't consider them in the league of the others mentioned.</p>
<p>Harvard, wharton, ross, stern (i'd only put stern over ross if you want to go into ibanking).</p>
<p>Bear Stearns generally isn't a BB. I forgot CS, though, which definitely is.</p>
<p>What about Chicago and Northwestern? Aren't they better than Ross in ibanking?</p>
<p>Chicago and NW don't have undergrad business degrees. They do have economics, and from what I've deserved those degrees are comparable to accounting, finance, and other degrees. It's weird...</p>
<p>But yeah. NW and Chicago whoop Ross' ass.</p>
<p>Theres no way NU and UChicago whoop Ross' ass. I should even be biased but I cant believe thats true. Id say they are comparable but in Chicago NU and UChicago would have a slight edge just b/c of their proximity and ability to do in school internships and that sort.</p>
<p>all three are semi-targets anyway ridewitbd</p>
<p>Yeah, I was referring to their economics degree. Sorry, that wasn't clear.
Hahaha Ross... Some people say they're a dime a dozen. Kind of insulting, but is that true??</p>
<p>What about Georgetown's Undergraduate Business School?</p>
<p>Is that any good for IBanking?</p>
<p>Also how much does an a starting IBanker make when he/she graduates from one of those big feeder universities?</p>
<p>How much does a starting IBanker from a normal school make?</p>
