<p>I'm having trouble deciding which school to apply to.
Could someone rank these schools in terms of recruitment opportunities?
Boston College
Vanderbilt
Emory
WashU</p>
<p>FYI, I'm not basing my entire decision on this.</p>
<p>None is particularly strong. In that general range of selectivity – albeit a bit more selective – I’d put Northwestern, Chicago, Georgetown, and/or Duke on your list.</p>
<p>Those schools are already on my list. I just want to add one or two more.</p>
<p>If you are looking to add these for prospective IBD recruiting, none of them are targets as IRJunkie mentioned before. Why don’t you list where you’re applying and perhaps we can point you out to other places that are well recruited?</p>
<p>Emory is a semi-Target - I’d probably include that one as one of your fallbacks - if that is what you were looking for.</p>
<p>I’m applying to
UPenn SAS
Cornell CAS
Duke
Northwestern
Georgetown
Rice
CMC
UVA
UT(safety-ish)
SMU(my parents want me to have 2 safeties)</p>
<p>Add Chicago.</p>
<p>I’m still deciding on Chicago. Any other schools you’d recommend?</p>
<p>Chicago is not really a place to go for banking if that’s your goal.</p>
<p>Maybe add NYU & Michigan.</p>
<p>Any others?</p>
<p>Not really aside from the obvious Ivies and similar: HYPM, Dartmouth & Columbia.</p>
<p>If you get into UPenn SAS are you planning on attempting to transfer to Wharton? If so, you might as well just apply to Wharton as a freshman.</p>
<p>I would add Columbia and NYU for sure, and if you are looking for a semi that is a bit safer, I would include Emory as well.</p>
<p>Out of your list it used to be BC before the crisis. Boston is a permier area, college haven. Recruiters think a lot of equally good candidates who did not get into Harvard went to BC instead. It’s not a rule of thumb, but some emplyers do assume so. </p>
<p>Definitely BC, and you’ll be meeting undergrads from good colleges nearby as well, whereas somewhere like Vanderbilt, in Nashville, you’re fairly limited.</p>
<p>Just what I know though.</p>
<p>I would definitely add Chicago. They have really good internship opportunities with places like Goldman Sachs or JPMorgan Chase. My dad is a MD at Goldman Sachs and he actually recruits people straight from Chicago. He told me they focus mainly on the Ivies and Chicago for recruits.</p>
<p>In general, UoC is not as well recruited as any of the other schools mentioned for NY opportunities.</p>
<p>ur dad is an MD@GS?? heyyyy what u doin later :)</p>
<p>^^ Seconded and thirded.</p>
<p>McCombs will provide better recruitment than any of the four you are considering adding. If UT is a safety, you might as well not add any more. Also, it seems like you’re from Texas, and (unless you’re loaded) it might not be worth going to a few of those over McCombs, especially in-state, in terms of placement vs debt on graduation.</p>
<p>Skittles what if I don’t get into BHP?? People on this board say if you’re not in BHP you are at a big disadvantage in terms of recruitment.</p>
