| Danas, what does Vanderbilt’s academics have to do with their football team? Also, congratulations on Florida’s recent basketball success but historically Vanderbilt has the upper-hand in the all-time head-to-head record. Also, very few academically orientated schools perform well in football (Duke, Rice, UNC, etc.) all struggle.
Applejack, the data in the chart is still inaccurate. Vanderbilt has several top programs ranked by USNews that fail to show up in the chart. The second part of your statement is completely ludicrous. I’m from New York and I interned at a top investment bank my junior year. Everyone there was very familiar with Vanderbilt. I’m graduating in a few weeks and I have several offers at top companies while most of my friends from lesser schools are struggling to find finance jobs. Similar to other top schools in south (Duke, Emory, etc.), New York is one of the heaviest represented states at Vanderbilt. If you go to Dore2Dore.net you will see tons of Vanderbilt Alumni from the NYC area. Many of them work for elite companies – Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, McKinsey, Deloitte, Accenture, IBM, etc. are all well-represented at NEW YORK CITY locations. |
