<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>You can't beat Wharton for that regards.</p>
<p>bioeng is right. I have a friend at Wharton now. He's a freshman and he's already networking with alumni in high places. =)</p>
<p>What are "IB" companies? International business???
for finance:
Wharton
U Chicago
Columbia
NYU
Carnegie Mellon
Harvard
London
Yale
MIT
U Rochester</p>
<p>IB = Investment banking.</p>
<p>Basically, when it comes to banking, it's more important to go to a very top school than to major in something specific. I've known English majors who got into Goldman Sachs. Of course, they did graduate from Harvard and Yale.</p>
<p>Hence, the 'top' schools in terms of actually getting an IB job would be places like the Ivies, Stanford, MIT, Duke, the elite LAC's, Chicago, Berkeley, etc.</p>
<p>Most Investment Banks ACTIVELY recruit at</p>
<p>All Universities in the Ivy League sports conference
Duke, Stanford, MIT, Northwestern, Chicago, UC-Berkeley, University of Virginia (UVA), University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Georgetown University, Williams College, Amherst College, Howard University, New York University, University of Southern California.</p>
<p>and NO, University of Rochester isn't heavily recruited.</p>
<p>Yeah, what banking recruiter in their right mind would really want to schlepp up to Rochester? </p>
<p>Just kidding.</p>
<p>ALL THESE ARE FOR UNDERGRADUATES.
ALso, even if your school is not on there, it doesnt mean it's not recruited. However, the schools ON the list are Target Schools for those companies and more heavily recruited.</p>

<p>if you REALLY want to major in FINANCE, then you can choose from the universities below
Upenn, Cornell, UC-Berkeley, University of Virginia (UVA), University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Georgetown University, Howard University, New York University, University of Southern California, U. of Illinois, U. of Texas at Austin.</p>
<p>A lot of recruited schools dont really offer majors in business. such as stanford, duke, chicago.......in that case, you can major in economics, or whatever you want.</p>
<p>If you are brilliant enough, IBanks will want you.</p>
<p>Including the U of Rochester in my list in post #4 was based on MBA recruiting at the U of Rochester in the area of finance. Evidently, recruiters like the Simon School for MBA recruiting. The U of R is pretty strong in undergrad economics but I don't think U of R offers a bachelors in business.</p>

<p>Berkeley has a Finance undergrad major? That's news to me. Berkeley has an undergrad bus-ad major in which you can take a lot of finance courses, and also has a graduate Financial Engineering program, but an actual Finance undergrad major? </p>
<p>To follow that logic, you could say that since MIT offers Finance as a concentration in its Management major in the Sloan school, then MIT offers a "finance major".</p>
<p>yes, sakky, that;s what i meant.....you can take courses in finance.............or have concentration in finance. For example, at UVa's undergrad school of commerce, you get a B.S. in Commerce with one or more concentrations......finance is one of the possible concentrations.</p>
<p>The list i had there is almost perfect........maybe one or two schools are missing....... schools such as UNC and CMU are on the borders. while they have top-notch business programs according to the rankings, they are not as heavily recruited by Investment Banks as some of their peers.</p>
<p>ADelphi??! hah i wouldnt expectt that... I live no less then 15 minutes away from it...its considered a commuter school/school that kids went to if they went to A Hurricane Katrina Affected school...</p>
