<p>I think these two lists can provide an interesting way to see which schools will help you “get your foot in the door.”</p>

<p>Wooh man, way to cut and paste the US News and World Report list of the 1000 best colleges…</p>

3

<p>Some of those schools are not what we’d expect.</p>

4

<p>No Northeastern or UVM?</p>

<p>Lame.</p>

<p>There is a coed fraternity at Johns Hopkins called Alpha Kappa Psi that annually heads up to New York City to meet with big financial honchos for like a Wall street tour. Among them were Bain and Company and Bank of America. I’m not really sure what happened, they just talked to some director and was lead around by a tour by Hopkins alumnis… Kinda cool. They give you great leads for internships when your a junior and senior.</p>

<p>Phead, Alpha Kappa Psi is a national (social/professional) fraternity and hold similar events at Maryland, Loyola Chicago and I’m sure many other colleges. The other business frat is Delta Sigma Pi. Many people shy away from the frat scene, but they provide excellent opportunity to network.</p>

<p>Re: the list. Recruiting is all about opportunity, both for the employer and the candidates. UMass or DePaul aren’t the best schools and wouldn’t garner extra looks if one submitted a resume, but because of their size or location they grant their graduates many opportunities to meet with recruiters.</p>
