<p>Since I am an international student, I know nothing about their reputation in Hedge fund/Private Equity/IBank employers or in engineering field.</p>
<p>Could anyone rank that? For Hedge fund/Private Equity/IBank employers? Or for engineering job recruiters?</p>
<p>Any comments will be appreciated.</p>
<p>All of them have very strong regional business connections. U Mich probably has the strongest nationwide rep/connections. All are strong schools in general.</p>
<p>Are you talking about grad school or undergrad? It may come down to which region you would prefer to live in in the long run.</p>
<p>@Consolation:</p>
<p>undergrad only.</p>
<p>I’d give Michigan the edge for engineering and wall street placement particularly if you get into Ross.</p>
<p>Michigan is the obvious top choice here. The other two aren’t even close.</p>
<p>RML ■■■■■■■■ again… UMich=Vandy > USC, but Ross > Vandy> USC</p>
<p>
Vandy=UM for engineering job recruiting? Can you prove it? Can Vandy engineering matches this:</p>

<p>Oh…I am admitted to U Michigan College of Engineering…Not ROSS</p>
<p>If you want to stay in California, go to USC. THe alumni base at USC is arguably the most close-knit in the US. Every kid I know who went to USC had no troubles getting a good job out of college.</p>
<p>^ That’s hard to believe given that I just met a taxi driver and a policeman a couple of years ago who graduated from USC. USC didn’t register that well too at most surveys that cover about salary scale or employment opportunities.</p>
<p>Michigan is the clear top choice here for both finance and engineering prospects.</p>
<p>After that, both USC and Vanderbilt perform well as long as you want to stay in their respective regions (West, South) after graduation.</p>
<p>I would go with USC Marshall or Vandy over Michigan Engineering if I was interested in Investment Banking alone but if you want to do Trading or Engineering, then Michigan is the clear choice here.</p>
<p>The OP was interested in both business and engineering as possible majors. If I “were” interested in either area, I would go to Michigan.</p>
<p>OP if you want to get into IB and finance i think you are thinking about the wrong schools. you arent going to be a powerhouse wall streeter out of undergrad let alone from schools not even Tier 1.</p>
<p>^^^Try doing some research on The Ross School of Business and The University of Michigan before you make silly statements.</p>
<p>The OP and I have similar interests & concerns (though not directly for me)</p>
<p>Where would UC Berkeley fit into this discussion? Thanks</p>
<p>^ Unless you want to study and work in California, or in the West Coast in general, UMich is the way to go.</p>
<p>@joshsnow:</p>
<p>Do you mean wall street takes only grad students from tier 1?</p>
<p>I do not think grad engineering student or finance PhD can do IB.</p>
<p>Josh is right in the sense that it will be very difficult to break into investment banking coming out of Michigan Engineering, Vandy or USC Marshall. Ross isn’t a factor in this discussion.</p>
<p>Although I would suspect Marshall does a good job of placing students into West Coast IB offices; its probably the third best program/school for finance after Stanford and UCB Haas.</p>

<p>Do you mean USC>Michigan Engineering or Vandy?</p>
