<p>I've been told that the USNEWS rankings proves nothing in the end. Can anyone link me to a page that shows which UG colleges top IB Companies recruit from? Basically I'm trying to find an undergrad business program where I can major in finance and have a good opportunity to get recruited after my senior year.</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon University (Tepper)
Cornell University
Emory University (Goizuetta)
Georgetown University (McDonough)
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Sloan)
New York University (Stern)
University of California-Berkeley (Haas)
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (Ross)
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (Kenan Flagler)
University of Notre Dame
University of Pennsylvania (Wharton)
University of Southern California (Marshall)
University of Texas-Austin (McCombs)
University of Virginia (McIntire)
Washington University-St Louis (Olin)</p>
<p>Damn, I have no chance at any of those:</p>
<p>3.6 UW GPA
1270 M/V SAT's</p>
<p>I applied ED to Stern, praying I get in.</p>
<p>What about some of these?</p>
<p>University of TexasAustin
Indiana UniversityBloomington
Ohio State UniversityColumbus
U of IllinoisUrbana-Champaign
Pennsylvania State U.University Park
University of Florida
University of Washington
Univ. of WisconsinMadison<br>
Boston College
Purdue Univ.West Lafayette
CUNYBaruch College
University of IllinoisChicago
Univ. of MarylandCollege Park</p>
<p>Michigan State University (Broad School) is highly recruited and has strong international focus.</p>
<p>UMCP, Illinois-Urbana, and Penn State are prob. the best off that list.</p>

<p>For ibanking? Unless its back office work thats not true. </p>
<p>If you want to major in business and have a good shot at getting recruited head to these schools:</p>
<p>Wharton, MIT, Cornell, Michigan (Ross), Stern, UVa, Gtown, UNC. </p>
<p>You can probably get in from others but it will be harder.</p>
<p>You're stating the obvious and ignoring the obvious. First, if you can get into one of the top dozen or so schools, do it. If you can't you need something other than an obvious list. That's what the OP was looking for. Second, IBanking is an extremely narrow focus, and you don't "major" in it as an undergrad. It makes much better sense to look for schools that are strong overall and heavily recruited. If you look at WallStJournal and some other rankings you would know that USNews doesn't necessily reflect what recruiters are looking for. Also, you are just looking at "business schools" and there are many colleges that are highly recruited (even for IBanking) that don't have a business major and hence don't get on your narrow-minded list. One example: UChicago.</p>
<p>Thanks mackinaw. Can you show me WallStJournal's rankings? Basically I have no chance at the top business programs, but gave Stern a shot ED because I have some hope. I'm applying to PSU, UMich, BU, BC, Northeastern, Villanova. I need some other good business programs with a good student life as well as good business program that is wellknown by recruiters.</p>
<p>If I remember right, UT - Austin has an Investment banking track/major within their finance degree.</p>
<p>I don't plan on going that far west. Anywhere in the northeast.</p>
<p>to me, there's wharton and then there's everybody else. stern is only good b/c its AT Wall st. A ross or tepper degree prolly has the same weight as a regular degree from u chicago, northwestern, or a top LAC school such as williams</p>

<p>I have not based my group of list to be what USNEWS reports. If I did Wash U would be on there. I suggest the OP looks at the recruiting websites of the banks and determines it him/herself.
Yes I know there are many schools that have recruiting that dont have business schools. However, I suggest you read the first post the OP posted. He/She wants to major in business and have a good shot at ibank recruiting. Now you posted about Mich State and I responded to it because it is not recruited by ibanks even though it does have a business school.
I would suggest reading the OP's concern first before you start attacking someone else. </p>
<p>Straight from the OP's post:

<p>I don't even know how to respond to this except to apologize to you for being rejected at NYU.</p>
<p>let me clarify something. tepper grads are not really well-represented on the wall street for some reason.</p>
<p>it's not that good of a school. Penn is obviously number 1, followed by NYU and MIT, and then theres the rest. But in terms of quality of student body, those 3 are far and away the best. Theres tons of people in at Michigan and Berkeley with scores around and below the low 1200s.</p>
<p>I'd say NYU is overated, but quakerman is the only one that ranks it so high.</p>
<p>I really could care less what you think. you can cite all the subjective reputation scores etc you want but Stern SAT/gpa average speaks for itself.</p>
<p>Well, its not speaking to me, so maybe you could post it next to MIT's, Berkeley's, Penn's and Umich's?</p>
<p>sterns SAT is higher than Penn, lower than Wharton and about 200 points higher than berkeley and mich. don't even put berkeley and michigan in the equation. one is infested with community college transfers, the other lives on past reputation. or are you one who when compared something like nyu law to mich law, ignores the huge discrepancy in lsat score and instead points to subjective areas like lawyer reputation? theres students who transfer into ross with 1100s and 1200s, so long as they do well in the pre-reqs. And I don't even like NYU, its a corporation that doesn't care about its students, but i'm perceptive enough to know it has a better student body quality than freaking michigan and berkeley. when i see lists of top high schools and see that their students choose ivy leagues and schools like nyu in great proportions and not schools like umich and berkeley, that means something. but yes, the great students of easy free As public high schools do choose places like michigan. It's whatever you want to think. Like I said, I don't even like NYU but the high school kids I know, which is what matters, almost unanimously would choose nyu.
i'm not going to take the time to post SAT scores but you can see for yourself, and that will shut your mouth.</p>
