Undergrad SA Recruitment
Hey all,
I know that a few days ago someone posted a list of undergrads in his analyst class. Can other people share which undergrads are the most highly represented. From the vibe I get on the forum, it seems Harvard, Yale Princeton, Columbia, Stanford, and Wharton are at the top, then Dartmouth, Penn Arts, Duke, Brown, Cornell, and Northwestern.
How many more students are from the first 5 schools as compared to the second set? And what about other schools such as top LACs and Mich, Berkeley, UVA (top publics).
Hoping people could share some general info from their SA classes.
One thing that makes me laugh in this forum, is that NOBODY, NOWHERE mentions MIT, (with a top undergraduate business program) in the top schools for I-Banking and S&T... It seems that UMich>MIT....hahahahahahaha
Err...most of the people I've spoken with (who are entering SA programs) are in banking and not S and T, maybe thats why? I duno, I was hoping to hear from you guys about that lol.
i've never pursued (or be interested) in a career in investment banking but all the IBDs of BBs (apart from Lehman IBD...i don't know why though) recruit from MIT..(this doesn't mean I would suggest MIT as a school though)...r u still in high school or an ugrad?
I'm in ugrad at one of the schools I mentioned (non-HYP/Wharton), rising junior so thats why I'm wondering about the SA program recruitment.
Just wanted to learn more about how schools stack up with one another in terms of recruitment.
Why no mention of Chicago?
That was the "vibe" I got on the forum. How does it do?
MIT kids usually go into S&T
That and hedge funds, product structuring and valuation (fixed income derivatives, especially); seems non-Sloan (and probably Sloan as well) MIT kids do finance for the same reasons a lot of physicists and engineers do it. If you can crush the math, quantitative finance is no prob and it pays.
How do kids at Dartmouth, Columbia, Duke, NU, Cornell, and Penn Arts and Sciences do in terms of getting recruited? And Mich and Berkeley?
Are they the next best thing to Wharton/Harvard?
You're right - those schools that you listed probably are the next best to WHYPS. The big question is, which one is the leader among the 2nd tiers?
MIT is represented pretty well represented at my bank.
10% of S&T class, 15% of research class, but only 3% of banking is MIT.
U of Chicago is also very heavily represented.
Most of the kids I met on my trading floor from MIT did not attend Sloan. They were math, cs, or engineering majors.
sloan (granted enrollment is only 236):
Top 10 recruiting firms that hired the most graduates in the past academic year No. hired Goldman Sachs Group 3 ARES/Teach for America 2 Citigroup 1 Credit Suisse Group 1 JPMorgan Chase & Co. 1 Deutsche Bank 1 Citadel 1 Ideo 1 IBM Corporation 1 Lehman Bros. 1
Is that it?
Wow.
Most top 10 schools have more than that, I guess MIT kids aren't interested in IB. Or that there are more people who go into IB from MIT's non-business colleges.
Btw, do Chicago grads go to BB's or stay in Chicago offices more often?
