Hi, I'm a junior and I badly want to attend a good undergraduate business school with Investment banking recruitment. I want to stay on the east coast;my ACT score is a 29, my UW GPA is a 3.7 and my W GPA is 4.15. I Started the finance club in my school and I have over 400 Hours of Community Service.
I was thinking about:
NYU Stern(ED)>>>REACH!
BU SMG
GW Business school
Northeastern Business School
Are there any other semi target schools on the east coast that I could get into with Good IB or other Hedge Fund Recruitment???
UMich, top LACs, UVA, come to mind. Good semi-targets are going to be reaches.
The University of Texas at Austin - The Red McCombs School of Business is worth looking at though. I know some people from there that have gone to some top MM/boutiques.
Honestly there's an extremely high correlation between the prestige of the institution and how much it's recruited. you might get certain boutiques at less-known place though.
The only school on your list that gets any significant measure of recruiting is Stern.
If you can improve your ACT by 1-2 points, I would also strongly consider eastcoast/northeast undergrad b-schools like: Emory, Boston College, Carnegie Mellon, UNC-Chapel Hill, Villanova
Beyond the coast, Notre Dame, Vandy, Indiana, and Georgetown come to mind.
