now - your comments regarding the percent of students of an undergraduate school that go on to get financial jobs being a measure of how great that undergraduate school is in getting the top investment banking jobs - ARE YOU KIDDING ME?



THis is easy.

This web site shows that Top financial services employers(for CC/SEAS grad) are:

Goldman Sachs (Warren Buffet is one of the largest share holder)
J.P. Morgan Chase
Morgan Stanley (CEO is columbia alum)
Barclays Capital
Bank of America
Citigroup (CEO is columbia alum)

These are top investment banks at US. 26.9% of CC/SEAS grads get Financial Services jobs and 25% get base salary (excluding bonuses) above $70,000. And 33% with base salary higher than $60k. At Columbia, getting financial services jobs is equivalent to getting TOP Investment Banking jobs.

Again, at top CEO or share holder level, Columbia dominates. Can you name any current CEO at top 6 investments banks, who graduated from Stanford, Wharton, or Princeton ?
