Congratulation on "Goldman Sachs Start Now! ". Women on Wall street are woefully underrepresented and this program is an excellent way to introduce young ladies to the industry.
That being said you have learned the most important lesson in Investment Banking: It’s not what you know it’s who you know , see “I got it through my high school internship with a US Congressman”.

Your post was misleading in that you implied that you were interning through Fordham’s Business School. I also find it hard to believe that in GS intern program Fordham grads outnumber Villanova grads by 30 to ZERO.

If there is an inverse relationship between athletic success and post graduate success that could explain Fordham’s Wall St Connections.

I doubt GS or any other major IB views Villanova as a “basketball school”.This is foolish statement. There are 6000 undergrads at Villanova and about 20 basketball players.

While Fordham has a good pipeline into Wall St ,I have met many successful Villanova grads on Wall St. and more are on the way.

Please see Bloomberg Business Week Best Undergraduate Business Schools 2011 Survey:
[Best Undergraduate Business Schools 2011 - Businessweek](Bloomberg - Are you a robot?)

Villanova rank # 7 , Recruiter rank # 12
Fordham Rank # 52 , Recruiter rank # 69

Recruiter Rank methodology :Bloomberg Businessweek polled 775 corporate recruiters for companies that hire thousands of business majors each year. We asked them to tell us which programs turn out the best graduates, and which schools have the most innovative curricula and most effective career services.

Median Starting Salaries are comparable with Fordham grads getting slight edge 56,000 vs 53,000.
