<p>What is typical of most people? i.e. undergrad, internship, MBA, etc. I'm looking for the order as well. Do most people typically do an MBA before joining a BB? (If their goal is a BB)</p>
<p>Do banks typically recruit right out of undergrad? Is it more important to be a target undergrad school or a target graduate school?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>College (typically an Ivy or other top school)

...</p>
<p>^ yep.</p>
<p>For some, MBA is optional. Those who are really good may be promoted without the MBA.</p>
<p>Do you think undergrad at Emory has a decent potential? Apparently, as per the Emory website, many of the BB's have designated them as a "Target School." Apparently many of the IB-hopeful students get business degrees instead of Economics etc. Here's the list:</p>
<p>Goizueta</a> Business School - Undergraduate BBA</p>
<p>And the stats: </p>
<p>Goizueta</a> Business School - Undergraduate BBA</p>
<p>And the past recruiters:</p>
<p>Goizueta</a> Business School - Undergraduate BBA</p>
<p>I'm assuming all of this is true.</p>
<p>Would Duke be better?</p>
<p>From what I've seen and heard, yes, Duke would be more heavily targetted than Emory. I chose Duke over Emory, NYU Stern, etc</p>
<p>I hope I made the right decision :D</p>
<p>I would have chose Stern if you strictly wanted IB
Duke has a better name and social, togetherness with colleagues aspect though</p>
<p>actually some posters on CC have posted the lists for their analyst classes and Duke is much better represtented than NYU. Here's an example </p>

<p>kmzizzle: Will a 1900-2100 and a 4.0 get you to Stern?</p>
<p>quag_mire: Interesting. Is that a list for Merrill? I have read that Stern is heavily recruited because of it's location, in addition to the other factors that other schools face (Princeton, Harvard, etc.)</p>
<p>lol i don't know if that list is authentic. Even I keep hearing Stern is heavily recruited but it appears that most analyst classes are almost completely devoid of NYU grads (for IBD). But I've also heard Stern fares better in S&T. Here is another list of schools represented in an analyst class, according to some poster on CC</p>

I'm going to be an intern in S&T this summer. I got a list of all the interns at my bank and their respective schools from HR last week. This list includes interns in IBD, Sales, Trading, Finance, and Compliance. Unfortunately, i don't know what each person does. But here are the most represented schools. Keep in mind that this is only one bank.</p>
<p>NYU 21 (Stern =13)
Penn 20 (Wharton=10)
MIT 12 (Sloan =5)
UVA 11 (McIntire = 9)
Princeton 9
Georgetown 9
Cornell 9
Duke 9
Columbia 9
Carnegie Mellon 8
Rutgers 6
BC 5
Chicago 4
Colby 4
Michigan 3
Dartmouth 2
Harvard 2
Yale 1
Stanford 1

<p>again, i don't know if it's realistic. It looks sorta fishy to me</p>
<p>Harvard only had 2, but Penn had 20? Seems bogus.</p>
<p>The list on #9 is 99% fake.</p>
<p>^The fact that Rutgers has as many as Harvard, Dartmouth, Yale, Stanford combined seems more suspicious to me.</p>
<p>You guys have to account for variance factors. Maybe there WERE more Rutgers in that class, but in another BB list there were 0 and 20 HYS, Dartmouth, etc. But really those lists don't even matter; we all know what schools are good for IB so just focus on that.</p>

High School, college soph xfer, or college junior xfer?
Stern only took like 80 junior (or maybe soph too) xfers this year so those stats look good, but no guarantee.</p>
<p>I think that list is bogus too...i find it highly implausible that Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth etc are so poorly represented, when they're supposed to be one of the most recruited schools...oh well, that guy was probably BSing</p>
<p>Well it could be true if it's one of the "barely BBs" like Bank of America.</p>
<p>I was going to call the list BS, but note the guy says it's for ALL divisions (incl. middle and back office). So it's really hard to say.</p>
<p>is going to an ivy league school or other top school for undergrad required to break into IB?</p>
<p>Maxk88: From what I heard no but it will be very difficult because they recruit at the best schools. That's why you have some people say it's a rich kid club because at least half the kids that goes to these schools are wealthy. Ivy believes in legacy and continues slave to the rich (especially Harvard). Ivy-esque is more open to anyone but preferable middle class & poor have better chance there and still compete to the rich within Ivy. </p>
<p>quagmire: Believe or not I agree with Nauru where Stern is concern. I think about out of the the Top schools only both NYU & Columbia have a chance to really experience the industry. They are close meaning those students could make their connections, see the action live, and companies have a better time to training them then the others (except Stanford, Northwestern, UChicago & UCA since they reside in CA & Chicago). Also you must count for Stern's undergrad B-school meaning those kids spent 3-5 years training for their position and have a better idea of the industry than those in Ivy (except Penn's Wharton). So looking at this point of view doesn't make more sense to hire those from Stern & Wharton than Harvard?</p>
