UI business job placement in competitive fields

<p>I know U of I has a well-respected business program. The rankings don't really matter IMO but this year they are #20. My question is: can UI graduates reasonably compete with other business undergrads out of the Ivies and MITs and NYUs?</p>

<p>Simply put, how good is the recruiting done by consulting firms, IBs, S&T, etc? Are there a good amount of opportunities to network?</p>

<p>Bump, I also want to know more about this. Anyone have any input?
I already know that Big 4 auditors frequently recruit accounting majors from UIUC. And to add on to theyoungboi’s question - do finance majors get recruited by prestigious Wall Street firms?</p>

<p>Indiana is better recruited for ibanking, Illinois is better recruited for accounting.</p>
