birdman, seconded.

by the way, the reason JHU is such a semi-target is probably because all the (non-athlete) i-banking-type kids (i.e. well rounded, EC's, leadership, etc) are all probably mad screwed by the grading system at jhu, which is INSANE.

i assume there'd be some recruitment (if only minimal) out of College Park.

In any case, if your looking to stay in the area but want to go to a target school, I'd say you should look right across the border at UVa.

College Park, as far as I have heard, is for operations, not banking.

By the way, this discussion is a tad ridiculous. There is no such thing as classifyng targets by state. Maryland-DC is a region, and the only way you can look at this the right way is by looking it at the DC-region basis, which means G'town and (more Southern) UVA & UNC.

Your argument is flawed. A potential employer looks at all aspects of a candidate. GPAs, E.C.s, and work experience are all factored into the first position a college grad applies too.
I know someone who went UT-Arlington and got a IB job at a smaller bank. Its about character, not where one goes to school. If that is truly how IB firms operate, then its just sad...

Huh? Your whole argument is they only hire from the ivies.
