<p>^^@Ridgway, I’m not sure why you think people care what your freshman year roommate and high school gym teacher have told you about investment banking. Regardless, your posts add less value than the fungus growing in between my mds toes. </p>
<p>Different banks recruit at a different set of schools.
For example:
JP Morgan’s targets for investment banking are:
Baruch, Cornell, Harvard, Stern, Boston college, Williams, Chicago, Yale and Princeton. </p>
<p>They do not recruit at Wharton undergrad, nor do they take very many people.
If your goal is to work at JPM in investment banking, you may in fact be better off going to Baruch than Wharton.</p>

Though research and S&T technically fall under the investment banking umbrella, investment banking generally refers to the investment banking division. Equity derivatives is a part of S&T. The work done in investment banking (division) is by no means complex. (That is , unless you consider changing the font color on the footnote in slide 87 of your deck from navy blue to a slightly lighter shade of navy blue at 2 a.m. incredibly diverse and complex). </p>
<p>Also, I’m not sure why you think Misterpresident’s statement is BS. It could very well be the case. As a whole, Cornell is probably not the most represented but they have more than their fair share of people going to Goldman, MS and JPM.</p>
