Which Ivies do IBanks Recruit Most

<p>In my opinion this is hard to break down. Your question needs to be specified a tad more, such as: What Ivies do BB’s tend to recruit at more etc. Investment banks is a broad term and you can have say, 2-4 boutique firms that focus on one or two schools and leave others out of the mix. </p>

<p>I would definitely put Wharton at the top of the list for the mere fact that banks know graduates coming out of there want to go into I-Banking. I believe recruiting is strong if you attend Harvard, Dartmouth or Princeton. My brother graduated from Yale, and he said a lot of the students did not have an interest in banking, so banks that recruited there had to persuade a lot of people (this was 2004). The rest of the colleges should all stand on the same tier, as I know people from every Ivy that work in banking, PE, hedgefunds or consulting (yes, even Brown, which falls off my radar often for some reason). </p>

<p>All the information you get from this thread will be mostly opinions, mine included. The only real way to know it to call the college’s Career centers or talk with someone at all the Ivy schools to see which banks recruit on campus. </p>

<p>I believe that anyone of them should be fine for banking though, as long as you interview well and/or have some strong connections (which, in the end, is what is ultimately comes down to) you should be fine.</p>
