<p>Even if you go to a non-core school?</p>
<p>yea.
but you gotta have high gpa. I’d say 3.6 is a minimum, 3.8+ to be safe.</p>
<p>does a tufts econ student stand any chance?</p>
<p>What are these firms’ favorite schools?</p>
<p>for TRADING…
Goldman Sachs
Morgan Stanley
Bear Stearns
Lehman Brothers
Credit Suisse
Citigroup</p>
<p>All the top ones. Literally and you might also want to add Brown because GS recruits from them a lot, but the general top schools and business schools.</p>
<p>How does Stanford undergrad do with Ibanking recruiting? </p>
<p>I heard it is several hindered by being on the west coast while most Ibanking goes on in New York.</p>
<p>One person earlier said that Blackstone recruits mainly from Harvard and Wharton, which are two of the best three business schools in the country. Stanford is in the top 3 with those two, but why aren’t they recruited from for undergrad?</p>
<p>Which school has more undergrad recruiting, Yale or Stanford?</p>
<p>Stanford is great.</p>
<p>Let’s see…</p>
<p>-HYPSM
-Wharton
-Columbia
-Brown
-Chicago
-Northwestern
-WUStL?
-UCB/UCLA
-UMich/UVa
-NYU Stern
-Georgetown
-etc etc…</p>
<p>In no particular order.</p>
<p>Are there any I’m missing and/or I should take off the list?</p>
<p>someone asked if Chicago Ibanks recruit at Wisconsin. Answer: I don’t know specifically about on campus recruiting, but remember it has a top 15 undergraduate business school and even a facebook search brings up many kids who are working across the country in banking.</p>
<p>Any non ivy, non elite private school with a strong alumni network will need a strong GPA (many ivy kids have median grades, around 3.5, while others from the top 50 need high GPAs, as in 3.7+) but can do it.</p>
<p>What about USC? It seems like many of the recruiting lists in this thread are without USC, do people still regard it as a party school for rich dumb kids?</p>
<p>no USC has good placement for the west coast.</p>
<p>futurenyustudent I would defintely put UT-Austin in there (McCombs).</p>
<p>-HYPSM
-Wharton
-Columbia
-Brown
-Chicago
-Northwestern
-WUStL?
-UCB Haas
-UCLA
-UMich Ross
-UVa McIntire
-NYU Stern
-Georgetown
-USC
-UT Austin (McCombs)
-etc etc…</p>
<p>In no particular order.</p>
<p>NYU Stern is the specific subcollege that gets recruited significantly more than the rest of the school.</p>
<p>UC Berkeley and U Michigan both have a significant number of graduates from non-business going into investment banking. Washington University in St. Louis isn’t specifically recruited, as far as I know. </p>
<p>Also, USC has recruitment that’s only strong for the west coast, so you might want to look at it as more regional.</p>
<p>Cornell is another school that is quite strongly recruited.</p>
<p>i am a second year student, stuck at OSU, does any of the target schools have a spring intake or a rolling admission?
Is there a way that i could make it to Wall Street 
I have 3.9 , but i am still not sure if its possible to make it to a target school now
Please help</p>
<p>Hmm… I suppose you can try to look around for a transfer opportunity, though I wouldn’t bet on it.</p>
<p>You aren’t doomed out of Wall Street, of course, your GPA’s pretty good and hopefully you’re near or at the top of your class. It will simply be harder. Attempt to drop your resume with the investment banks and schedule interviews for summer internships on your own.
Join your school’s investment club, and try to do well there.</p>
<p>And mainly, even if you have to go into a less prestigious finance job first, you can still, with determination, get the top jobs eventually.</p>
<p>Can I add McGill Management to this list? what does everyone think? I mean Lazard recruits there…they must be doing something right.</p>
<p>thanks for replying,
i tried submitting my resume with a number of IBs but no one even cared to reply, i am thoughroughly confused and disappointed. Any advice???
Should i try again this year (submitting my resumes online) or should i take a different approach( if yes … what ???)</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>since when are the VAST MAJORITY of you qualified to speak on this stuff? What the hell? CC should stop these threads because it spreads disinformation and rumors.</p>
<p>Listen, and let me qualify this with, IN MY EXPIERENCE and those of my friends, here is what I have seen:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>IBanking is a safety career. </p></li>
<li><p>Almost all Ivy kids can get the job. You need 3.0+ and the medians in many majors are 3.3-3.4</p></li>
<li><p>“T25” Kids often need 3.5+</p></li>
<li><p>NON T 25 (OMG OMG OMG R U SERIOUZZZ?) get offers, and although I concur that it is an elitist field and even kids from schools like Maryland, Miami, Ohio State, etc (not top 50 but upper 2nd tier) get shut out. I go to Wisconsin and of the few kids I knew in Ibanking they all had over 3.5s, but were not absurd academic superstars. Majors were history to business and econ. A large school, or school with a STRONG alumni network will help.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Transfer is that all front office positions or back office?</p>
