<p>I am trying to figure out if Vanderbilt or Tufts would be better for economics or if they would just be relatively the same. I want to go into investment banking or consulting. Thanks!</p>
<p>Vanderbilt</p>
<p>Vanderbilt for sure.</p>
<p>Tufts.
For sure.</p>
<p>Vanderbilt is the obvious answer.</p>
<p>Vanderbilt is a semi-target school. Tufts is a not a target school.</p>
<p>I’m not seeing any people give you specific reasons for their opinions, so I will vote too! Tufts!</p>
<p>The reason for Vanderbilt is simple. It’s one of the schools that some firms target when they’re hiring for IB jobs. Tufts isn’t a target at least to my knowledge.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any numbers to back these opinions up?</p>
<p>If you want to go into IBanking/Finance, you will probably have more recruiting opportunities at Vanderbilt (Tufts doesnt have a B-school so suffers a bit in this regard).</p>
<p>If you want to do something that overlaps Polisci/IR with Econ Tufts might be a better option since the Fletcher School is top notch</p>
<p>As you can tell by these posts the overall difference is pretty small…</p>
