the Ivy schools are the feeders. you won't see more representation on the street than from Wharton undergrads, harvard, princeton, yale, etc... but there are definitely other schools that deliver: -UMich -NYU -Berkeley -UVA -Notre Dame -UCLA -USC -Pomona Colleges -NESCAC -Case Western -Howard -Ohio St. and the list goes on... there are kids from anywhere you can imagine, but it gets really difficult as you get lower and lower down the rankings. I would encourage you to network and work your ass off at Drexel (saw your post earlier), but it's going to be hard coming from there. I don't know if they have alumni on the street, but if you can find that, use it.

If you have time for a school-year internship in center city, do it. Navigant Consulting has an office in Philly and has a corporate finance arm that works similarly to banking. MS, DB, etc all have non-banking arms that would look good on the resume anyway. It is going to be extremely difficult, and your odds aren't great, but work hard and it will pay off somehow.

 

if i graduate from a school like Drexel (philly) with a 3.7+ gpa would I be able to get some interviews from regional or middle bracket banks? Also if i survived the 3 analyst years there what would it take to get into a top 10 business school. Or at least one the BB recruit from. I think that that would be the best way into a BB but I would love to hear what you guys think.
