Wisconsin, Indiana, or Northeastern
I am a senior in high school deciding between UW Madison, IU, and Northeastern. I am direct admit to all three’s business schools and am having a difficult time deciding. I want to go into IB, high finance, or consulting. I would most want to go to UW but am concerned about its reputation. Would it still be possible to make a career there? Thoughts?
Definitely wouldn't pick Northeastern. Those kids don't know the difference between their left and right and haven't seen a solid buy-side exit in decades. Source: was a Husky back in the day and was one of the only finance guys to make it out of the middle market. Between Indiana and Wisconsin, I would say that IU is the better choice from a placement perspective. Look into their workshop programs. Just a warning, they are pretty competitive. Social life at both schools will be great as well, so no worries on that front. A lot of cocaine to go around on both campuses. Source: they used to call me the "bag man" back in the day.
We should grab coca— er, coffee, sometime…
Echo the above that IU is probably your best overall bet with the IBW but if you have a desire to stay in the Midwest, UW is a target for some banks in the Midwest, but overall would still choose IU if you back yourself to get into the IBW
Would go Kelley.
NEU and IU
Wisconsin is a great school and our IB program places 30ish kids per year. We are non-target for most firms, but we consistently place at Goldman, Rothschild, Guggenheim, BMO, TD Cowen, and typically send 1-2 kids to many of the major banks. I would say that IU has a stronger IB program, but UW can be a great choice and is still growing.
If you want to go to UW, go to UW. Don’t make your college decision solely based off the chances to land 1 specific job. Enjoy Madison
from a strictly recruiting perspective, there is a decently sizable gap between IU kelley and the rest
