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.

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

If you scroll down in the link, you will see the adjusted-for-size list as well.

Thoughts?

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

Well, any company you admire likely had to raise capital using an investment bank. If you think all for-profit companies are evil, then I guess there is no pursuading.

At least investment banks are involved in a lot of primary offerings (i.e., raising capital for companies) vs. just trading operations like hedge funds which serve a role in a capitalistic economy but are not providing capital for companies looking to grow.

Hmmm let’s see. Great Depression. Triggered by Wall Street

S&L bailout. Triggered by Wall Street junk bonds

LTCM implosion led to “too big to fail” ethos. How could that possibly be a bad idea? 🙄🙄

Dot Com implosion—> recession of 2001

CLOs and CDSs—> global recession in 2008

I’m not saying we don’t need a financial sector. But its current iteration siphons off WAAAAY to much of the real economy by using things and people that could be put to far more valuable uses.

This list is BS if it doesn’t include Morehouse College. Morehouse is the size of Bowdoin and Swarthmore and definitely sends more 20 kids to Wall Street per year.

As a Georgia resident, it does not.

Actually, this list seems far more credible.

NYU is #2 when looking at raw numbers to Wall Street…it drops off OP’s list when adjusting for the size of the school.

Now, likely 80%+ of NYU kids going to Wall Street are coming from Stern, but hard to make that distinction.

This just goes to show that is you aspire to work on Wall Street, your prospects are greatly enhanced if you play lacrosse for a top tier college program.

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

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

And more than Wharton from Penn. Math, Economics, PPE and Engineering majors too.
