Going to ND certainly does put you at a disadvantage. It puts you at a disadvantage when you're up against Harvard Econ and Wharton Finance majors. BBs are going to take targets over non-targets 100% of the time, ceteris paribus. I don't disagree with you that a career in investment banking is a "realistic possibility" but it sure isn't the slam dunk you make it out to be. A 3.8 from ND is a half-court shot compared to the layup that is a 3.8 from a target. FACT. Just because Goldman and UBS recruit there for backoffice positions doesn't mean that "most investment banks recruit there." ND simply doesn't have the same opportunities for banking that targets have -- stop trying to argue it.
