Looking for intel on top undergrad business programs

UVA, Michigan and Berkeley as well.

OP, why the cloak and dagger about "intel" and "elite recruiters?" Are you trying to get your kid into Blackstone or something?

Does USC have better recruiting outcomes than BC or UVA? This I would like to know.

I don’t know the answer definitively, but imagine the outcomes for USC are strongly weighted towards the film, music, sports and entertainment business. Not so much of a Wall Street feeder.

?? There’s a ton of business all over California, especially tech work. They’re likely going into Apple, Google, and Tesla finance programs, not the music industry.

Penn (Wharton but also the other Penn schools) and Harvard tops for finance/consulting placement.....other Ivies and MIT & Stanford follow

Michigan, Gtown NYU and UVA are very good for finance/consulting but not at the same level as above ---

Career outcomes are one factor in the P&Q overall. P&Q also posts the list sorted by career ranking:

Seems like Wharton Georgetown and Michigan Ross are the HYP of undergrad business then you have a solid second tier of about 10 schools that are roughly equivalent… or maybe Wharton stands alone and the next 10-12 are basically the same

How is Fordham for undergraduate business?

I know a kid graduating from Ross this year who has NO OFFERS currently. His GPA was like a 3.5 and he said he has been told it's too low for the top recruiters. So, getting in is one thing, then you have to hustle, then you have to get lucky. Investment Banking is such a hard thing, its like being a medical resident - they are brutal with hours and stress. Seems to be what everyone wants to do but the young IB I know work 80 hours a week every week - week after week, year after year.

Is there any school that has a pipeline to The Street?

Missed Cornell….the combo of Dyson and Nolan under the SC College of Business make it now the largest Business school in the country.

If you include USC World Bachelor of business, it is probably the finest undergraduate global business education in the US. Their placement with Top Consulting Firms worldwide is amazing. And it is arguably one of the lowest admission % in the country.
