<p>"Dartmouth Tuck students"</p>
<p>Ahhhhhhhhhh, those are MBAs</p>

However, Dartmouth is the number one school recruited from Wall Street
[/quote]
</p>
<p>For undergrad, that honor goes to Wharton. Probably grad school as well...Wharton's finance program is unrivaled.</p>
<p>That may be true, but Slipper proved that the strength of the program often falls secondary to the prowess of the school as a whole. Great networking at Dartmouth for both the undergraduate/graduate level more than makes up for its slighlty lackluster econ dept. (When I say lackluster, I mean in relativity to Wharton)</p>
<p>idk if what slipper says is so true...i think department rankings do matter...</p>
<p>Trust me, Wharton's no slouch when it comes to networking. :)</p>
<p>I have family members that recruit for Wall Street firms and I've worked in the local branch of an investment banking firm myself. Wharton is top dog in the securities industry, though that's not to say other schools such as Dartmouth and Chicago don't have strong connections as well.</p>
<p>That's probably correct. You probably know more than I do when it comes to this stuff.</p>
<p>Top feeders to wall street firms are (in no order)
harvard
dartmouth
Umichigan
Yale
Georgetown
U of PENN
UVa
UChicago
Northwestern
princeton
NYU
Columbia
Duke
Berkeley</p>
<p>Do you really think a bank or consulting firm cares what an econ dept is ranked? As a person who has worked at a top 5 consulting firm I can tell you they absolutely dont care. Otherwise why are these firms flooded with Williams grads and the top MBAs as well?</p>
<p>a bank or consulting firm has a traditional list of school they like to recruit in, and they grab very few people from other schools, as well.</p>
<p>slipper, u were not attacking my post, right?</p>
<p>no way Untitled, I totally agree. CC people think that a good Econ dept = good banking, etc which is a huge fallacy. Either you are on the list, or not. Places like Williams/ Dartmouth are on more lists than places like WUSTL.</p>
<p>Damn is it bash WUSTL day? LOL</p>
<p>Besides, WUSTL's econ dept. is not of note anyway.</p>
<p>haha, I don't think anyone's making a conscious effort to bash WUSTL, but it just comes up a bit short compared to the other schools discussed in this thread.</p>
<p>haha...i like WUSTL...they liked me back</p>
<p>just curious, but do math people go into finance just as much as econ people?
Because most of the banking/finance people I know were math majors at PSU and now work in finance/bank firms, which seems to me more economics related.</p>
<p>First of all, some ppl have no judgement about anything, I not only have an uncle at Goldman Sachs and a sister workin for JP Morgan, therefore, I think I am in position to give advice. JP Morgan, New York branch actively recruits from Cornell, and is one of the biggest feeders along with Wharton and Columbia.</p>
<p>They both know practically no one from U of Chicago and Northwestern or Michigan.</p>
<p>Um, ok, that's great for them. Does it mean anything? No. </p>
<p>All of the schools in Untitled lists are significant Wall Street feeders, albeit some are moreso than others. Whether or not your sister or uncle knows anyone from them has no bearing on that.</p>
<p>collegekid, having two relatives that work in the financial industry really doesn't put you in position to give advice...</p>
<p>Right. I have multiple relatives that work in the financial sector, but when it comes to this sort of thing I only listen to the ones that work with recruiting. These firms are so huge that just going by the experience of how many grads from X school a few people know isn't that helpful. </p>

<p>Being good with numbers is a definite plus, although I'd assume they'd at least have some background in economics and/or business as well.</p>
<p>I'm sorry I missed Cornell in my list, Sorry once again.</p>
<p>I sincerely apologize, college kid :)</p>
<p>now, let's get it straight:
U of Chicago, Northwestern and Michigan, the three schools u think NO ibanks hire from, actually put wayyy more undergrads on the street than Cornell....UChicago and NU's economics and Michigan's Ross school of biz are truly better than Cornell AEM.....</p>
<p>um, i am saying a lot of you ppl are givinig advice when you are not qualified to give advice.</p>
