<p>Can anybody tell me what the top 10-15 target schools are for investment banking? </p>
<p>And more particularly, I wanted to know if the University of Maryland-College Park was one? It's the flagship school in my homestate so I was just wondering if I went there would it would easy for me to land interviews for internships and such a couple years down the road.</p>
<p>The Ivies, Stanford, MIT, UChicago, Duke, then Northwestern, Georgetown. There are others, and some might say not Northwestern or Georgetown, but this gives you an idea. Maryland is not considered a target. Will it be easy, no, it’s not easy from any school (right now anyway), but it should be possible if you play your cards right. </p>
<p>That said, in the future please use the search function, this topic has been beaten to death.</p>
<p>Williams and Amherst are targets</p>
<p>from another thread:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>not a perfect ranking, but you get the idea. And no, the University of Maryland is not a target school</p>
<p>Correction, not just Cornell AEM, it’s Cornell in general. Cornell’s ILR and Hotelies are at Goldman this year.</p>
<p>The list from Awped is pretty good. Georgetown is absolutely a target btw, massive numbers on WS, at a few firms second only to UPenn. UMDCP is not a target and not even a semi-target. You’d be hard pressed to get a job at a BB from there.</p>
<p>Yeah, the only changes I’d make to the list posted by Awped is taking NYU, Berkeley, and UMich off, and adding my school (perhaps biased, but probably not), Brown, to that last group</p>
<p>I wouldn’t remove NYU and UMich… and I see what you’re saying about Brown, its hard to say because most people are not at all interested in WS from Brown. You’d know better than I.</p>
<p>leave umich and nyu on as long as its just their business schools - rest of their programs are definitely not targets</p>
<p>why isnt duke on that list, either? i’d put it in the second tier.</p>
<p>i’d also probably move princeton up to 1st tier, but for the same reason as bk with brown, im probably a bit biased there</p>
<p>I think C-Revs is right about Brown, there is definitely less interest than at other schools, which is why there is less representation on Wall St. However, there is ample recruitment considering the lower demand, so it works out nicely.</p>
<p>is middlebury considered a target like amherst and williams?</p>
<p>someone posted this on another thread…it tells you how well each school is represented at his BB…interestingly, some non-ivies outperform certain ivies</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, Middlebury is well respresented among top IB firms.</p>
<p>NYU Uchicago and Umich are definitely targets with or w/o that list (especially ross and stern). I think it also has to do with the general interest in business in those schools. Obviously alot of ppl in wharton stern n ross want ibanking, they are business schools after all. But proportionally the number at places like yale or brown wont be the same coz again they are not business schools and ppl do stuff like engineering, poli sci, nat.sci etc there as well</p>
