<p>I want to work in an investment bank after college...
I'm pretty sure that I need to study economics in college to have a competent resume for the IB. </p>
<p>What are the colleges with the highest recruitee rate for the IB?
Please list about top 7...</p>
<p>You should try informing yourself a bit more first. It's really not that hard.</p>
<p>do you,then, anywhere I can look up for that kind of stuff?</p>
<p>The best way is to go to an investment banking target school...these include the Ivys, top LACs, Gtown/Duke/UMich/Berkeley/MIT/etc. The school that send the most is typically Wharton UG as it is known on Wall St. for being a banking factory but other schools such as Harvard, Yale, and Princeton also send a decent amount every year.</p>
<p>^ Add Chicago to that list. Can't beat its undergrad economics.</p>
<p>yeah i agree I forgot UofC...</p>
<p>Wharton sent 25 kids to Goldman Sachs and 33 kids to Citigroup in 2005...and that's just the number of ACCEPTED offers.</p>
<p>Besides Wharton, NYU-Stern, HYPSM, lower ivies particularly BROWN, and top LACs. And Indiana-Kelley sends quite a few to wall street as well.</p>
<p>A top school. Good GPA (major isn't that important). Willingness to lose your soul.</p>
<p>Oh...it helps if your mom is Zoe Cruz (acting prez of Morgan Stanley).</p>
<p>it's funny you mentioned her futurenyustudent...zoe is one of my best friend's aunts.</p>
<p>Yeah, I think once you get into one of the top 10 or so schools, you have to get atleast a 3.5 and be able to communicate effectively, and demonstrate that you can achieve things</p>
<p>Perhaps someone more familiar can elaborate on exactly what you have to achieve for Ibanking straight out of undergrad</p>
<p>bern700..
i was speaking to a wharton student and i was just curious about your opinion</p>
<p>what is the most desirable job for a wharton ug (finance) and would people turn down top PE for GS/MS IBD? throw hedge funds into the mix while your at it</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>bump ..</p>
<p>I worked in HR for a top IB. They hire top undergrad students from Ivies into junior level analyst jobs. Most take these jobs for about two years and then get an MBA from a top business school. These folks get big money but the hours are brutal. By the way, I saw many with UG engineering degrees - followed up by an MBA of course.</p>
<p>IBs recruit very heavily at the University of Michigan. I graduated from Michigan (I was in the college of LSA, not Ross) with a sub 3.5 GPA and I had offers for an Analyst position from Goldman Sachs in NYC and Lehman Brothers in Europe before I even graduated. I was one of roughly 20 Econ majors who joined IBs as analysts the year I graduated.</p>
<p>Northwestern is also very highly recruited by IBs.</p>
<p>A similar, recent thread on the topic.</p>
<p>Is UCLA a decent school to get recruited by top IBs?</p>
<p>i think a how to get into ibd thread should be stickied or banned and a response of politely using the seach feature should be utilized becuase these threads pop up every other day</p>
<p>Goldman Sachs is the #2 employer of Cornell University grads (#1 is Cornell itself)</p>
