Take a look at their bios, many of which include the colleges they attended, and you'll see the truth.

clearly, you don’t work on Wall Street. You have to look at the department and title.

And we're supposed to believe you do work on Wall Street and are posting on an anonymous college discussion board all throughout the trading day?

Do you have any experience of your children going through this? You should listen to other peoples' experiences.

Anyone else wondering if it's members of their team who are so insistent on this thread that you need to go to a college that they are happy to take thousands of dollars to help you figure out how to get into?

If you want a Wall Street career, your college experience is just different: your freshman grades are absolutely essential (and 1st semester sophomore), the school you wen to matters die to alumni connections, and the experience/summer internship you have matters. I'm sure there are some that don't have these and get a spot, but it is uncommon.

The colleges on that list are completely what you would expect: Ivy League, certain SLACs more oriented to business students/connected to Wall Street, and Ivy+ schools. These are not surprising whatsoever.

Sadly true.
💯

And it’s not the right path for most people!!

Depends if it's Stern or not. Emory is the more prestigious school so for econ, CS, and Math it's Emory. NYU Stern is different so NYU for business.

Another delusional shameless Emory person.

Emory people please wake the F up already

Yet NYU still didn't make the adjusted ranking now did it? NYU grads do not get the same jobs Emory grads do.
Despite being in New York and Emory in Atlanta. Emory grads make more.

https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/search/?page=0&sort=threshold_earnings:desc&search=New%20York%20University

Emory is also just ranked. NYU boosters need to get over it.

I would love to see them exclude Tisch, the School of Social Work, Steinhardt, and the College of Nursing. NYU would leapfrog up the list. I am certain that *Stern* grads get better jobs than Emory grads.

(Not a big NYU booster here - my son didn't even apply - but well familiar with Stern!)

Sure but exclude Emory humanities majors too.
If we look at just CS, Emory grads still make more 133k vs 129k. Again most NYU grads stay in the Northeast. Emory is more prestigious get over it.
https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/school/?139658-Emory-University&fos_code=1107&fos_credential=3
https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/school/?193900-New-York-University&fos_code=1101&fos_credential=3

So overall seems like peer schools.
Prestige factor is negligible.
It's a matter of personal preference and priorities.

NYU is in New York. Most of the students stay in the northeast. There salary should be 25% higher not 10% lower.

Anecdotes don't give a complete enough picture for me. I want hard data and lots of it, and have seen none from those on this thread who are insisting you have to attend an elite college.

Absolutely not -- it is a great career path, but all this for the privilege of working 12-18+ hour days 6-7 days per week for hourly pay that you would not want to calculate.

LoL Emory folks were arguing hard that they send more kids to Wallstreet.
So most of the Emory graduates get stuck in GA?

I would avoid the school.

The list literally takes the jobs that were offered and divides by the number of students at each school and then ranks them by %age given positions. You can't get any more date-driven than that. And you would have to get into the elite college before you decided whether you can attend.

You actually think it's anecdotal that attending an elite college improves your potential career path? Steer clear then!

If anything, this ranking of schools shows that no one recruiting on Wall Street cares one bit about US News' ranking changes to boost Public Universities due to "outcomes".

Four years of tuition, room and board at an elite college only to sell your soul when you get out.
