Not surprising that it’s all the top schools. Goldman Sachs is big on UPenn Wharton School graduates.

If you’re able to type out Claremont McKenna, why not type out Vanderbilt? “Vandy” is widely used but sounds idiotic.

How is NYU (Stern!) not in the Top 25?

Why is this a goal for so many? These are immoral jobs.

I don't like how they look at NYC-centric firms. I don't know if anyone really means "Wall Street' when they say Wall Street vs. working in investment banking whether that is NYC, Chicago, LA, SFO or even Atlanta.

The industry is not as concentrated these days...in particular there are some fairly large investment banks with HQ in Chicago.

Perhaps the list wouldn't look any different.

The list by the OP adjusts for the size of the school. NYU is actually #2 when looking at the raw numbers, but drops out of the top 30 when you adjust for size.

NYU is a very big school and Stern is pretty small. This list represents weighted average placement on Wall Street as a share of the entire school. For example, no large public universities are on the list despite the fact that UC Berkeley and Michigan send a lot of kids to Wall Street

Yep. Its the wrong list. You need to adjust for size.

Probably not, IB jobs in those cities especially southern cities, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Houston are easier to get.

I know for certain that more than just Stern grads are applying to IB jobs from NYU.

Thoughts? Nothing to be proud of. Churning $$ for a living. Little social good. Not creative.
