Oxford College of Emory University vs Carnegie Mellon University

what you called a “glamorous job”, but your belief that Emory (and I’m not sure if you included GBS when you said Emory) won’t be able to get you into banking, trading, etc. is just completely wrong.

I don’t consider banking, trading, etc glamorous jobs. I consider banking at GS, JPM, trading at Citadel, consulting for BCG, etc. glamorous jobs. As a whole, not Citi, BAML, WF, Deloitte etc. (although they are great jobs with some fantastic niche groups -that I consider glamorous).

I’m including GBS.

PE firms very rarely hire undergrads - I am still doubtful more than a negligible couple of them hire from Emory.

I specifically said

Although I dont think you have a great shot at being a GS banker from emory - but It sometimes happens.

and I still stick by it.

It’s a shame they stopped publishing actual numbers almost a decade ago.
http://goizueta.emory.edu/degree/undergraduate/career_management/placement_statistics/2008.html is the last time they did it. Take a look for yourself. 3 hires. And, I can’t show it, but it’s definitely possible that all of them were IT, Human Cap, etc.

This doesn’t mean that nobody from Emory has ever worked for GS/MS/JPM in the front office… But it’s not something you should “bank” (pun intended) on. I’ve heard through the grapevine that we had a guy get an offer from GS TMT not that long ago, although the rumor is he turned it down.
