Schools that jump out: - Princeton - impressed because obviously firms want them but on a per capita basis kids aren’t going as much as you would think they would. - w&l - wow. Wouldn’t have expected this to be so high. I’m assuming lot of Atlanta / Charlotte ib? - swat - def more preprofessional than expected - seems like it’s losing its way |

Emory and Vandy should be higher, there's plenty of Atlanta and Charlotte banks that aren't being counted

| Who wants to work on Wall Street anymore? It used to be the only option besides law or medical school. Now there’s the tech industry. Wall Street is less desirable. |

No one cares about a website called college transitions. it's usnwr or nothing. i don't have the time for silly lists that any Tom, Dick or Harry puts out |

but the WSJ ranked UVA no 1 public for finance last year. I'm going with that. College Transitions is yet just another website trying to make money off of stressed parents |

Ok, now we know that your alma - Roanoke CC - didn't make the list, move on. |

I bet you put all your savings in your mattress. Because any money you put in stocks or bonds is handled by the immorals on the Wall Street. So, you are either naïve (putting money in matters) or hypocrite (criticizing and yet taking the help of Wall Street employees to grow your savings. So, who are you? I take a guess and say you are a hypocrite. |

| Bucknell should be on the list. |

| Hard to make direct comparisons as some have business schools and some don’t, so the ‘adjustment’ for school size doesn’t work. Ideally it would be adjusted for number of students pursuing finance careers. |

My first thought is that Wall Street will hire from any college that has qualified applicants. Useless lists like this just show us where the highest number of smart people who want to work with money are.
My second is that useless lists like this unnecessarily add to the anxiety of teenagers and parents by implying that it matters a whole lot which college you attend if you want certain jobs. It' doesn't. |

Do you think Wallstreet hires from Arizona State regularly? Where you go matters and lists like this help in making decisions. There is a post discussing Emory vs Tufts for business. A list like this is helpful in differentiation. Why pay 90k a year for tufts when you have little chance at investment banking, when Emory is a target for those banks? I would hate to send my business-minded student to Vassar when she could have gone to Middlebury or W&L for better results. |

I guess you don't really track. We just had NVDIA earning yesterday and it was a blast. Stock almost jumped 10% |
