Goldman Sachs recruits heavily at Brown, yeah -- but that just saying that in a good year they take 10-15 kids over all divisions. it's hardly the case that getting something with them is a second nature for most kids at brown; the cream of the crop of brown students still go neck-to-neck for these jobs.

i'd also like to make a point that financial institutions recruiting is a highly cyclical thing. they tend to overhire during good times, and cut jobs like crazy during expected recession. GS only hired 1-2 kids last fall recruiting season on top of their summer analyst class.

i wouldn't make those employment statistics a strong base for deciding which school to go. if you know what you really want, you can get it regardless of where you go to.
