Across the river from Carleton, much harder though better today than when I was there.

What the hell is NESCAC?

According to my google, it's the New England Small College Athletic Conference, which is a D3 athletic division. The members include a number of the most selective liberal arts colleges in New England (and NY since Hamilton is included). People tend to use it like the Ivy League to describe a type of school, although just like the Ivy league there is a difference between the schools in the conference.

the ivy league is closer in quality from HYP and Cornell than Williams to Conn College or Trinity.

Rankings maybe, quality not so sure there is that big a difference. Anyway, I just said there was a difference, I didn't describe the extent of the difference. There are also urban schools (Tufts, Trinity) and rural schools in the conference. And there are size differences, from 1700 to over 5000 students.

Tons of students from Colgate, Bucknell and Lehigh (Patriot League SLACs) land on Wall St post-graduation.

What about the SLACs in Maine?

Don't panic. Your unimaginative, conformist kid will do fine.

Wall street oasis will give you the clearest idea of what schools get ocr for what shops in finance.

Do SLACs really have a good record of graduating future finance folks?

I went to Hamilton College and know quite a few people who wound up on Wall Street. The career center had a lot of Wall Street networking opportunities while I was there.

Plenty of Williams grads work in finance. When I graduated (late 90s), the i-banks did a lot of on-campus interviews. I suspect the same is true today.

Your DS does not need an undergraduate finance degree to work on Wall Street. He should major in math or CS if he wants to be a quant. But he can also get into i-banking with a well-rounded liberal arts degree (any major).

What sort of majors do SLACs offer that might best prepare someone for a finance career? Business isn't usually a major offered by the liberal arts schools my son is looking at. Maybe Economics?

How do you not know what the NESCAC is? And why don't you use the Google instead of boring everybody with your ignorance?

Which major?

NP. No one has heard of the NESCAC unless you actually attended one of those colleges. It's like if I was outraged that you never heard of the MIAA.
