<p>Is McIntire as well represented on Wall Street as counterparts like Penn, Columbia, Northwestern, Georgetown, Dartmouth etc.?</p>
<p>Wall Street is perhaps just one of the stereotypical parameters for measurement of employment. What I want to know is if McIntire a good investment for a carer in IBanking/Consultancy?</p>
<p>When ever I have these questions I always go here:
[Business</a> School Barrage | WallStreetOasis.com](<a href=“http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forum/bschool]Business”>Business School and GMAT Forum | Wall Street Oasis)</p>
<p>The people on that site work first hand with people on Wall Street so they would be able to give you the best imput. But going from what I’ve seen on that site, UVA is considered a target school, and I personally know some people who went to UVA and are now on Wall Street.</p>
<p>Of the schools you listed, only Penn and McIntire are in the top 5 on Business Week’s list of top undergraduate business schools.</p>
<p>I would think Wall Street would take notice.</p>
<p>^those rankings are BS.
For example, Georgetown has great employment stats.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Northwestern, Columbia and Dartmouth don’t have undergrad business schools…</p>
<p>Wall Street is overrated.</p>
<p>Overseas developing economies are where it’s at.</p>
<p>Just answer this question: do you want a “developing” salary, or a developed one?
Exactly.</p>
<p>Maybe you should direct your question to former employees of Bear Stearns, Lehman Bros, AIG, Merrill Lynch, etc.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>non sequitur. Do consultants for finance companies that help start-up firms get “start-up” salaries? </p>
<p>plus if salary is the reason why you’re going to the Comm School, you’re applying to the wrong place</p>
<p>yes, Comm School people get good starting salaries. they usually have a broader vision than that though.</p>

<p>I don’t go to the Commerce School, but I live in a residential college with dozens of Comm School students and some of them are my closest friends. You can look at employment stats or whatever, but remember that Comm School students are first and foremost, UVA students in a Jeffersonian school. The professors are hard/brilliant/may treat you to dinner at his/her house, or whatever, but to me one of the greatest strengths of the Comm School (from the perspective of someone who studies science in the CLAS) is the strength of its peer interactions. Comm School students tend to be creative and daring and lead innovative projects on Grounds; the block system creates very tight-knit peer groups.</p>
<p>On top of all of this, a major reason for why Comm School grads get good jobs (or UVA students in general) is University Career Services, which is impressively run in my opinion. There’s the CavLink system too.</p>
<p>From just general gossip, the Comm School has an interesting pattern of selecting people at the end of their second year. Usually when we hear whether someone has been selected/deferred/rejected, it isn’t a surprise. Innovative and creative people tend to get in, and people who can only talk about their desire to work in a Wall Street Bank as a reason why they want to go to the Comm School get shut out. :)</p>
<p>t-t-triple post</p>
<p>From my experience, I can say it with relatively high degree of confidence that Wall Street focuses on Ivy League, Top Private Universities, when it comes to recruitment at the entry level. A Princeton or Yale degree has better chance of getting into Wall Street as compared to McIntire. In fact, I find the placement of Ross as far better than that of McIntire.</p>
<p>It’s a semi-target.</p>
<p>What experience that is that, Rintu? I’m friends with high-level UVA grads at JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and Blackrock who specifically recruit at UVA.</p>
<p>My friend just secured a future job in Morgan Stanley and she’s in her third year…she hasn’t even finished a semester in the Comm School.</p>
