<p>Is USC for undergrad a good enough school for those really hard to get, high paying jobs like Investment Banking/Consulting and such?</p>
<p>That's sort of a subjective question, as everyone has different views of which schools are "good enough", but I'd say yes. </p>
<p>It made Business Week's Top 20 list.</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>No. solid program, good alumni connections, but unless a USC grad is doing the hiring, those top jobs are going to students from harvard,yale,princeton,mit,caltech,duke,dartmouth,columbia, and wharton</p>
<p>Yes, USC (Marshall) students land extremely competitive jobs. Personally (I'm a USC alum), I had offers to do investment banking in both San Francisco and Los Angeles (I choose SF).</p>
<p>All of the major investment banks do recruit through USC on-campus recruiting, and most of the banks take at least a couple of students every year (this is includes both corporate finance and Sales & Trading). I know USC seniors (class of '07) that are starting work this summer with top-tier banks located everywhere from NYC to San Francisco to Hong Kong. Personally, I know seniors who will start working this summer for Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, BofA Securities, etc...</p>
<p>Most of the top consulting firms also recruit through USC on-campus recruiting (McKinssey is the only top firm that doesn't recruit at USC).</p>
<p>In addition, USC students also land high paying jobs in real estate development, and also in Hollywood.</p>
<p>what about consulting? Is it solid for recruiting in this field as well?</p>
<p>Most definitely! My brother is a USC alum and current consultant, and he received numerous offers while at USC. Firms such as Accenture come on the campus knowing that they are going to hire USC students.</p>
<p>I would think that the majority of the good positions are taken by Ivy graduates, Sloan graduates, Stanford graduates, etc.
USC will get a much smaller fraction of the positions at top firms I guess...</p>
<p>just like trackstar said, they have GREAT alumni connections. "once a trojan, always a trojan" alumni do a lotttaaa things for the new graduates, its so cool</p>
