i disagree. sure, there is a greater interest in that type of work from wharton students, that doesn’t mean that people in wharton are viewed as necessarily more qualified than ones in the college, as any bank is going to have to train you anyway. by looking at the career surveys from graduating classes it’s clear that many, many people in the college get jobs at good banks. as a wharton professor i met with said, banks just want smart people, it really doesn’t matter what you study.

furthermore, a family member who began working at goldman last year said that her batch of first analysts had an evenly split number of people from penn and wharton.
