undergrad target schools

breaking into IB is harder than breaking into these schools:

UPenn, NYU (Stern), Harvard, Columbia, Michigan (Ross), Cornell, and Princeton have great recognition + precense on Wall Street.

obviously schools like Stanford, Yale, Dartmouth, Duke. Georgetown, etc. have great name recognition but many don't go to Wall Street in comparison to the first list.

MIT kids tend to be quants.

some other schools with less name recognition (but still good schools), yet still a fair Wall Street precense (more often than not in boutiques...= less $$$) include Boston College, Texas, Rutgers, Florida, Villanova, and Virginia.

good luck I guess. (especially if you just found out what IB is and you only like the $$$)

I wonder which school you go to...

Virginia is UVA, is it not?

OP asked for good target schools for IB in NYC. Dartmouth, Stanford, and Yale are obviously rated higher as academic institutions as a whole, but Ross has a large representation in Wall Street specifically because of the sheer number of alumni connections tied to its undergrad business school. Stanford kids tend to stay in the Silicon Valley and SF, rather than NYC. Yale and Dartmouth kids are well represented but not as much as those I mentioned before them, and many work IB in Boston. Nobody is going to shut down your application for going to Dartmouth, Yale, or Stanford instead of going to Ross though.

I went to Columbia. You?

Arguing with absolute numbers makes no sense. There might be more Michigan kids on Wall Street than Yale kids, but that's because Michigan is so much larger. If you look at the individual likelihood of someone from Yale and someone from Michigan wanting to go to NYC IB, the guy from Yale definitely has a better chance to land there. Same with Stanford, Dartmouth and yes, UVA. Michigan is not a top-tier target school.

I see where you're coming from, and fair enough.

If we want to make definitive tiers than it'd be UPenn, NYU, and Harvard taking the first tier without a doubt.

I'd be hard pressed to leave Michigan out of the second tier though.

UVA is not ranked higher than Michigan, where did you get that notion from? Do you go to UVA?

I hate Ohio State with a passion

UVA McIntire has been an IB factory for the past couple of years. Nearly Ivy level recruiting. I think 2 kids went to Blackstone this year from their career report.
