<p>6% of 396 is 24-25</p>
<p>Percentage of UMich students going into ibanking in 2005:

<p>Each class of UMich business students is around 360 give or take a few, so 28.5% of that would be around 102-103.</p>
<p>So clearly, a lot more students from UMich go into ibanking. I’d like to mention that I think 28.5% is a higher than usual percentage for UMich students going into ibanking. Also, the number of business students from UIUC going into ibanking is definitely increasing. I don’t have anything to substantiate that statement yet, but I think the 2006 placement statistics will show an increase from 6% of finance majors going into ibanking. Keep in mind that U of I’s college of business has tradtionally been very appealing for major accounting firms because many of the top business students were interested in accounting jobs, but now a growing number of top business students are showing much more interest in ibanking jobs, so ibanking recruitment should pick up.</p>
