| There are basically two tiers of recruiting for elite banks and consulting firms:
1. HYPSM, Wharton, and Cal Tech if a student is aggressive.
2. Chicago, Columbia, Northwestern, Berkeley, Cornell, Brown, Penn, Duke, Dartmouth, Rice, Amherst, Wellesley, Swarthmore, Williams, and JHU if a student is aggressive. The undergraduate business oriented divisions of Michigan, Georgetown, Carnegie Mellon and Virginia would also be in here, but moreso for the dry accounting and control type positions (which out of college pay the same and have comparable responsibilities).
After this there is a huge drop off in terms of on campus recruiting presence, yet you do see some people from places like Emory, UCLA or NYU sneak in on account of having been a high GPA business major or having strung together a handful of influential internships. |
