I have seen some old threads about this but would like any new/updated opinions if possible.

How easy is it to get into investment banking from Brown compared to some other target schools like Duke, NYU Stern, Michigan Ross, Northwestern, etc? Obviously Brown is not at the level of HYP + Wharton, but I am curious as to how much on campus recruiting occurs at Brown from the top level banks and boutiques.

Something I have read is that although there is less recruiting in general, the number of students looking to go into banking/wall street is much lower at Brown so there is less competition.

Also, do most people looking to work in finance choose the BEO or economics major?
