<p>Can someone tell me which school will get you a better chance of getting hired in the future? For example, I want to start out as either an investment banking analyst or a junior analyst; I believe that the employers prefer people who graduated from top tier schools.</p>
<p>get rid of CalTech.</p>
<p>1.) Stanford, Berkeley
2.) UCLA, CMC
3.) UCSD, USC</p>
<p>How would UCSD or UCI stand in rankings in your people’s opinions? Is it worth going to UCSD (for Econ) or UCI (Biz Econ) if I want to start out as an investment banking analyst or a junior analyst?</p>
<p>Caltech is a solid school, but not because they have a great business program; it’s because their average student body is the smartest in the country. I’ve heard a lot about businesses (not necessarily ibanks) picking up Caltech grads, who had little to no experience in those fields, just because they could absorb information very quickly, and could probably do the same job better in a few years, compared to a grad from a lesser school (which happened to have a stronger program).</p>
<p>So, I think Caltech should definitely be on the list.</p>
<p>^ True. A CIT grad who majored in Applied and Computational Mathematics and has a “Business Economics and Management” or “Economics” option would be a top notch hire.</p>
<p>ah my bad. I thought the OP was asking for the best economics program.</p>
<p>he was…people are weird on this board…</p>
<p>“ah my bad. I thought the OP was asking for the best economics program.”</p>
<p>He was, but he was asking it in the context of future employment, not in simply rankings. So, we should also consider another elite school like Caltech</p>
<p>Well then there should be two separate rankings, one for the best economics program and another for the most employable school. Seriously, one can have a mediocre economics program but be very employable, with CalTech being the perfect example.</p>
<p>Yeah, I absolutely agree</p>
