<p>Pitt, since your going to be looking at CMU anyway. Pittsburgh is a big banking center: PNC and BNY-Mellon are located there, and geographically and academically among most of the other schools you list. Your ACTs are around the 70-75th percentile for Pitt, although that might be borderline for academic awards or honors college admittance as a freshman, but Pitt is pretty generous and likes out-of-staters. The college basketball scene is pretty awesome at Pitt (consistently rated as the toughest place to play in the Big East), and although they have no men’s varsity volleyball, there is a men’s volleyball club.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input! I’ll def hav to consider Pitt</p>
<p>Where do you want to do your future banking? NYC or regional? And do you mean IB , S & T or something else?</p>
<p>If NYC, I would say the best schools on your list are NYU, Michigan, Carnegie Mellon, and maybe Boston College.</p>
<p>The other schools are great schools, but do not have as much presence in NYC “banking.”</p>
<p>I do not work in this field but have a D that does (in NYC at a BB). I constantly question her because I am an academic advisement coordinator in a business school at a state college and this info helps me advise.</p>
<p>My D has had two internships at different BBs and is now employed in trading at a BB. She has had experience w/ two internship classes, a training class and desks. Sample may be small, but I still get a good sense of the schools people graduated from. I have also been reading this forum for awhile.</p>
<p>id prolly like to get into IB, id prolly like to work in chicago (near my home) or out in the LA area, i realize nyc is the place to be for ib but idk if i could see myself living there</p>
<p>Your stats qualify you for an automatic $9,000 per year scholarship from Kelley/Indiana University. US News just ranked Kelley in a tie for tenth with USC and Cornell and Kelley’s finance and accounting programs are both top ten. Kelley is flooded with Chicago area students with similar stats and aspirations to yours.</p>
<p>You list some solid schools, if you want to work on Wall Street, NYU will give you the best shot at that.</p>
<p>the one thing about nyu that i dont like is the reputation that i see over and over again that ther is no school spirit and it just sounds like a very cold atmosphere, i guess id hav to see it for myself tho</p>
