I'm a Smithie, and I know at least 10 people that got great jobs in New York with investment banks first year out, and i hear about them recruiting on campus all the time.
...
LAC's. give you a more personal look, as opposed to relying solely on quantitative application info, scores, GPA etc. Less people means more time to read through every app. Logic, really.

If you want a LAC-type school for Investment banking Dartmouth is the clear leader (10/10). Its recruiting is phenomenal. After Dartmouth, Williams does a great job (9/10). Amherst does pretty well also (8/10). Then I would lump Middlebury, Colgate (interestingly), Barnard, Wellesley, and Bowdoin (6-7/10). The others (Haverford, Vassar, smith, Swat, Carleton, others) do okay but there is less of a focus on recruiting.

In order of prefrence:

Stanford
all the Ivies (besides Yale, Princeton, and Harvard (those jerks )
John Hopkins, Duke, Berkley
Chicago, McGill

I may or not be applying next year (for sophmore status). I'm thinking about applying as a junior because I understand that transfer students don't get a lot of financial aid (at least to these colleges) and my college is giving me a full ride so I don't if I will apply next year.

whoever says that a smith does a bad job of recruiting is absolutely mad.

my sister graduated from smith in 2002 and the educational/job opportunities that her classmates are now pursuing are phenomenal.

my sister is in currently at penn med
her friends:
works at the hague for the united nations
works for goldman sachs (oh only after getting a full ride from harvard business school)
got her pHD in english from columbia
got her pHD in education from penn

...and that is only in one circle of friends...

smith creates strong, independent, woman scholars!
