<p>I'm interested in going into ib and particularly in the bigger ib names simply because it'll give me more experience , connections and well more respect from other ibs . I'm just wondering what are the good colleges I should apply for to get into Goldman Sachs or the other top ibs in USA/UK/Canada/Aus/HK . If someone were to be so kind as to list the colleges here that would be great .</p>
<p>For US, simply perform a search on their site and college sites and you’ll quickly find out which colleges get GS attention. Some of the big ones are the usual suspects: HYPSW, Cornell, Dartmouth, Col, NYU, UVA, Berk, Duke and several others that are more clearly semi-target schools. </p>
<p>PM me if you have other questions.</p>
<p>UK-Oxford, Cambridge, LSE
Canada-Ivey, Queens
America-Ivies/Stanford/NYU/MIT</p>
<p>Penn’s Wharton school. hands down.</p>
<p>Mind elaborating on the canada-ivies ? I’m pretty sure ivy leagues are only the 8 US universities .</p>
<p>I never wrote “canada-ivies”, I wrote “Canada-Ivey”. Canada has a business school in London, that’s quite similar to Wharton, and places well in Toronto and in New York (7 in GS this year vs 11 by Yale; which isn’t bad for a non-ivy). It is called the Richard Ivey School of Business but it is colloquially known as “Ivey” in Canada.</p>
<p>In the U.S., every BB hires an obscene number of students from penn/wharton. In my industry group there were 14 analysts, 8 of whom were from penn. It’s absurd</p>
<p>Not trying to promote my school, but babson did get 40 ugrads into IB on wall streetlast year. Most with jp morgan</p>
<p>^^Front office??? My state school placed 3 interns at JPM this summer. They are great internships, pay well and may lead to jobs. But they are back office.</p>
<p>A grad getting a jobs at an IB is considered a good thing. But there is a difference between front and back office. The big difference is money earned. It’s the front office folk that earn the millions. They are also usually Ivy and the other elite school grads.</p>
<p>I apologize for not wording it correctly. Babson placed 40 students onto wallstreet. Jp Morgan hired I believe 10 students, more than any other firm. And yes front office</p>
<p>Financial analysts to be exact</p>
<p>UK: Cambridge, Oxford, LSE, Warwick, and to some extent, Imperial, UCL, Durham, Bristol, Nottingham, Manchester, Exeter and Bath.</p>
<p>US: HYSPM, Wharton, Dartmouth, Columbia, Stern, Ross, Berkeley, Northwestern, Chicago, Duke and to some extent, Georgetown, McIntire, Washington-Olin, UCLA and Notre Dame.</p>
<p>^ Yet somehow left off Cornell? Haha.</p>
<p>TIERS:
TIER 1: Harvard, Wharton, Princeton
TIER 2: Stanford, MIT, Columbia, Yale, Dartmouth,
TIER 3: REST OF IVY LEAGUE, Duke, NYU, Northwestern, UChic
I’ll edit this post in a lil…gotta go somewhere.</p>
<p>^ That’s probably the case for NE hiring. But a lot of Stanford and Berkeley grads are absorbed by Goldman for West Coast offices. There probably are more Berkeley grads in Goldman than there are Brown grads or Cornell grads.</p>
<p>Add Michigan to that list also.</p>
