<p>Duke, Colubia and Northwestern to an exent. Berkley, Stanford, and USC if you want west coast/la :)…IhateCA what schools are you applying or thinking about applying to?</p>
<p>here is an old discussion i found</p>

<p>NYU Stern, Chicago, and Mich are my first choices…</p>
<p>So far I have:
ROUND 1
-NYU Stern ED
-Chicago EA
-Michigan (early september)</p>
<p>Georgetown is definite IB feeder. Also, I heard Columbia and Cornell Engineering were major feeders for trading.</p>
<p>Ur not gona do Penn? Are you a Jr this year? Can you apply to both an early action and early decision school at the same time?</p>
<p>Yea Cornell and UVa are also prety good.</p>
<p>Well, I only have a 3.5/1940 at this point…it would be a SUPER DUPER REACH, so I’m really not going to waste time doing Wharton’s app. But I actually have a chance at Stern. By the end of June I’ll have a 3.56/2100ish, but still not enough for Wharton.</p>
<p>Come on, Chicago’s like the biggest reach for me.</p>
<p>for your other post, Ive heard that trading is more competative than M&A. But they recruit from the same schools plus MIT and Cal Tech a little bit more.</p>
<p>I was thinking about Chicago but I think it might be a little to hard core academic for me and you have to study eccon…and id rather do finance.</p>
<p>And I dont think Chicago or Stern are that easy to get into. Im probly gona apply to Penn the college (a little easier to get into) and then transfer to wharton as a soph. </p>
<p>I have a 3.75 and a 1900, sounds like were kinda similar.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the salary difference between a person in corporate finance and sales and trading? I really want to know this</p>
<p>Well realistically corporatelaw, Chicago and Stern are going to be easier than Wharton. I’m kinda hesitant about Chicago because of the whole humongous core curriculum thing where you can’t pick your classes…do you think I’d have a chance at Brown?</p>
<p>This is also an option…: Stern—>transfer to Wharton as a sophmore/junior or
Stern—>Brown as a sophmore/junior</p>
<p>But I think I’ll like NYU so much I probably won’t transfer. I mean there’s not much of a difference btwn Stern and Wharton’s placement rates.</p>
<p>entry level its basically the same but you can make a lot more in S&T (via huge bonus) really quickly if you are good. Plus you have the option to move over to a hedge fund and make even more. If you are good in trading you can make a million a year before you are 30 as opposed to corp fin its more like 35-40.</p>
<p>Not sure how much harder it is to stay on in S&T if your not making money.</p>
<p>I dono. I think brown is kinda like Chicago, not quite as hard, but you have to study eccon. I was thinking about Darthmouth, but beside Penn I think the only Ivy I would apply to is Cornell.</p>
<p>Id really like to be in Cali, for the girls and internships in LA, which also makes me think about UCLA, but its so hard to get into not sure if its worth trying. </p>
<p>Are you thinking about UVa? To me it seems kind southern but a little bit better than IU?</p>
<p>Yea definatly woudnt go stern to brown. Mabey the other way around. Not that im sexist or anything but NYU seems like it has an odd mixture of people but then again you have NY so it dosnt really matter.</p>
<p>According to my Princeton review book, NYU has Average GPA: 3.63
Average SAT: 1331 and Penn Average GPA: 3.83 Average SAT: 1417</p>
<p>Hey uhyea or mssales - if I go to Indiana starting in Spring of '07, will that mess up my schedule for the workshops or seminars and i-core and internships?</p>
<p>Investment Banks’ Feeders:</p>
<p>All the schools in ivy league, Duke, Chicago, NYU, Northwestern, Michigan, UVa, Berkeley, USC, IU, Georgetown, Stanford, WashU, UIUC, Notre Dame, Williams, Amherst, Texas. MIT and CalTech to certain extent, but grads there tend to go into technological sectors of business, a lot of them prefer to work for Google…etc. I hope i didn’t miss any school.</p>
<p>Isn’t NYU Stern a feeder too?</p>
<p>I think NYU’s in my list.</p>
<p>Washington U and Notre Dame should also be on there, and if you’re going to put IU on there you might as well put UIUC.</p>
<p>True, UIUC does have potential. Lazard, the very elitist boutique bank, recruits there, which means a lot.</p>
<p>I think IU is better than UIUC though, by a fairly visible amount. i put UIUC in the list nevertheless.</p>
<p>Notre Dame shines because of their alum network.</p>
<p>Oh…sorry untilted. Didn’t see that.</p>

<p>What about Purdue???</p>
<p>Purdue is not a “feeder” for the Street. Most Wall St. firms do not go to Purdue’s campus to recruit.</p>
<p>In order to be a feeder, you have to make the banks come to you.</p>
