Not everyone from Freeman lands on The Street, either by choice or because they fail to tap into the ready-made network. Those people bring the average down a bit; if you exclude them, it would surpass $100k. Back office is much, much lower. Think $60-75k. |

For Wall Street: Bucknell = CMC = Colgate > Lehigh > Davidson For general prestige outside of Wall Street: Davidson > CMC = Colgate = Bucknell > Lehigh |

There’s a lot more back office kids than Wall Street kids. Bucknell is simply not documented as a Wall Street feeder because it’s alum hardly go. |

Heavy disagree on the prestige. CMC=Davidson> Lehigh>>Colgate>>>>Bucknell |

CMC is Claremont McKenna. It would easily top that list. So
CMC Williams (yes Williams out ranks CMC in general but not in Finance) W&L Colgate Lehigh Layfayett - Bucknell |

Idk. Wharton is like 110. Top 10 undergrad business is 100-110. 90 isn’t terrible. |

CMC is the second best small, regional liberal arts college in Claremont, CA. Bucknell is a well known pipeline to The Street. Bucknell Williams W&L CMC Colgate-Lehigh-Lafayette |

I doubt Davidson has any advantage over Colgate |

Not one man who works on The Street (like me) would advise his kid to choose Bucknell over any of those schools except maybe Lehigh and Lafayette but we are in the realm of whatever |

No, cmc is. So much so that their Econ grads had the highest starting salary of any Econ majors across the country last year. It’s the best SLAC for finance in the Claremont Colleges. Bucknell is not ranked at all for Wall Street feeders, even swarthmore does better than them: https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-feeders-banking" target="_new" rel="nofollow"> https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-feeders-banking Id say Williams CMC W&L [basically the entire t25 LACs] Bucknell |

Peak Frameworks doesn't have W&L, Bucknell or Davidson listed anywhere.

| More a consulting school than an IB, Hf type of place. The kids are mediocre. |

| Bucknell alum can never show data, just empty words of Wall Street “fanaticism.” It’s really embarrassing, bordering on cult-like. |

We visited Bucknell. It was fine. One got the sense it was intellectually maybe a cut below the other lacs we visited. The business school was impressive and it seems like a good route for a young man or woman who knows they want to chase the bag but can’t get into a top25 type LAC. Perhaps a very good option.
My DC describes the kids who got into Bucknell as not terribly smart… like not taking the same classes as the kids who are targeting the most selective schools… maybe a few easy APs, you get the picture The Bucknell Keystone Pipeline Champion is a bit deranged but it’s a good call for a kid who is not quite in that top rung academically but wants the brass ring too and doesn’t think the super nerds are the only ones who deserve a shot at it. The business program, like all business programs, provide a springboard into the industry versus a standard liberal arts education. |
