<p>Just wondering, does University of Florida have a lot of interested companies recruiting there? It’s ranked in the USNEWS top 50 for (grad) business schools… Not sure about UG</p>
<p>“Why would they recruit more at UVA when UT-Austin’s business school is ranked higher?? BHP is VERY competitive and is taught in MBA style classes…I doubt I’d want it even if I got in.”</p>
<p>lol, it’s called “OLD MONEY NETWORK”. :)</p>
<p>UTexas and CMU and UNC’s undergrad programs are all ranked higher than georgetown’s…but gtown’s recruiting is much better…</p>
<p>in the end, it’s not only the biz program, the WHOLE SCHOOL COUNTS AS WELL. otherwise, harvard doesnt have a biz program, then why would it get recruited at all? well, coz banks know that harvardians are intelligent and will get the jobs done.</p>

<p>The problem with that is most of the people from UIUC, or CMU head off to operations (which is a well regarded sector in citadel btw) but not into the “front office” (aka the investment research and trading group)</p>
<p>Do any ibanks from Chicago recruit at UW-Madison?</p>
<p>looks like not too many companies recruit at UNC</p>
<p>how about NYU CAS? (econ and pre-biz minor)</p>
<p>NYU CAS econ is supposedly in the top 20, so I would guess that people, not many, but few definitely get recruited</p>
<p>“Basically to get into blackstone at the undergrad level you have to be from 1) Wharton and then 2) Harvard”</p>
<p>not really. UVa’s McIntire sent 3 kids to Blackstone last year. </p>
<p>I guess they worked their asses off.</p>
<p>Blackstone recruits at McCombs BHP as well. McCombs BHP has quite an impressive list of recruiters.</p>
<p>What’s Blackstone?</p>
<p>Look them up…they’re a pretty big firm…my cousin just got a job there out of Baruch MBA. His starting salary is 90k w/ a 40k signing bonus.</p>
<p>One kid from IU also works for The Blackstone Group.</p>
<p>Is that like the holy grail of IB?</p>
<p>I always thought Goldman Sachs was</p>
<p>No, its not…Goldman Sachs is…checkout the top 5 firms…BulgeBracket.</p>
<p>IB is just impossible to get a job in almost, can a person get a job in asset management with a TOP 50 IB firm, without being from a prestigous school or is that out of the question as well?</p>
<p>top 50 IB firm?</p>
<p>that’d make it much easier.</p>
<p>yea, the top 50 IB firms according to Vaults guide. You think it’s possible? The Vault guide doesn’t paint a picture of optimism at all. I could defintely get into asset managment.</p>
<p>Actually the more I look at asset management may be more for me, It looks like it involves a lot of research, less hours, and a comfortable living. Investment Banking is sexy, but after doing a lot of research, I’m starting not to like the prospects, it seems cut-throat, heavy-work load etc. They tend to want MBA’s though? Also how competitive are these jobs vs. I-Banking, I thinking pretty competitive, but not nearly impossible as it, I-banking.</p>
<p>i’d say the top 10 ibanks are extremely tough for non-target school kids to break in, top 10-20 are still tough. after that, it would be less competitive, still competitive tho. but if you get like a 3.6-3.9, have some internships, it’s very possible to break into less known firms.</p>
