If you're pulling a 3.0 GPA, you can forget the Bulge Bracket.

I couldn't tell you. GS actively recruits there and I know of a few duke students who have gone there. I don't know how much the other BB's recruit at Duke, but it is a top school so I would assume that they recruit a little bit.

i would like to clear something up for everyone- going to one of these schools doesnt mean you get to work at an Ibank. my mom has been a recruiter/job interviewer at some of the top I-banks (Deutsche, UBS, bear sterns) and i have talked to her about how the "recruiting" and job picking goes and she says the college that ppl go to matters very little in her decision.
going to dartmouth rather than yale makes even less a difference she said.
its about getting experience in the field and having the right courses that shows you're prepared to work for these firms.--
one thing she says is very important is interning and when you interview having a good background about how the market, economy work

FreshElephant,
We'd be in Tier 2. Judging by time as a summer analyst, talking to HR, and viewing my resume books from various BBs, we are highly represented

The helpfulness of the major will be dependent upon how much quant you want to do in finance. If you want to be a general banker then an Economics/Finance major would be fine. If you want to deal with more advanced analysis/models , then some firms really fancy a degree in Mathematics, Engineering, or Physics (more quant heavy than Econ). Economics is generally fine (if you're looking for the path of least resistance).
