U Chicago Economics (IB)

<p>I would like to work in an Investment Bank(IB)...
To do so, I think I need to major in economics,...</p>

<p>There are many strong colleges with economic</p>

<p>Harvard
MIT
U of Chicago
Princeton
Columbia
Stanford.... to name the few,,,</p>

<p>I know that U of Chicago and Harvard has the best economics courses...</p>

<p>My question is that U of Chicago, I think, has a better economic education
than HYP or other Ivies... then would I have an advantage to go to U of Chicago over other HYP+Ivies on my way to IB?</p>

<p>No. Chicago is well-recruited, but HYP and Wharton are the best.</p>

<p>Just on the off-chance that the OP doesn't know, Wharton is the name of UPenn's college of business. Good luck. It's quite selective, which is obvious for being ranked the #1 undergrad business school.</p>

<p>HYPSM, Chicago, Columbia, NYU-Stern, top LAC's, Georgetown, UVa, UMich, Northwestern, BROWN, Dartmouth, Indiana-Kelley all have good recruiting for investment banks on the east coast.</p>

<p>Wharton is amazing, but I'd still go with econ. Don't feel forced to go into econ for IB though. A huge variety of majors get recruited for IB, they care more about your thinking skills than your general knowledege of an are ( or so I've heard).</p>
