None of these school are targets. They are semi targets at best. Regional banks hire from these school with a few exceptions. NY banks have pockets of graduates from all of these schools. The graduates worked very hard to secure these spots with perfect grades. If you want Morgan, JPM and/or Goldman - youll need to be the next level up. None of these schools send grads there (other than a few exceptions).

This isn't true. Emory is a low target along with Berkeley, Williams, Amherst etc. Also there's plenty of Goldman Sachs workers from all of these schools, and I know IB students from Emory that had a 3.3-3.5.

Yes - it is true. As it says very clearly - there are exceptions. But it will take exceptional grades, grit and connections to burst through into New York Bulge Bracket banks. Sure they can work at regional banks but not the Tier 1 and Tier 2. Youre not beating top 10 and diversity candidates. It aint happening.

This is not true. There are non big banks in Atlanta or Nashville. Citi bank and BOA, where Emory and Vandy send their grads, do not have investment operations in Atlanta and Nashville. And as I said you really only need a 3.5 to get an internship, after that it's all about performance at the internship that gets you the job.

Emory is 18 for wall street placement

WashU 28.
Rice doesn't make the T30.
Emory is better than it seems as Atlanta has a lot of small investment shops with 20 or less people which don't get counted for this study.

College Transition? Is this site even trustworthy?

Agree. And if you do use this site at least post the correct rankings: Emory 22 Vandy 23 WashU 25. Pretty close to each other so just go where you think you’d be most happy

I gave the per capita ranking. Overall numbers don't matter. You need to see what you DCs chances of getting this type of
Job is.
There's also peakframeworks.com, which has Emory in the lead with this group of schools.

The data just really show that these four schools are below the Harvards and Whartons and that they are all quite similar in finance job placement. Seems to me it is much more important to pick the school where the kid would be most happy instead of basing choice on some little known website

https://www.peakframeworks.com/post/ib-target-schools
Here's another, both websites.are.well known within finance and investment banking communities. Of course theyre.lower than Harvard, which school isnt.OP is clearly trying to get into the best option they can with their stats.

Not sure I would trust these unknown websites. Seems like Anyone can make a list

You're spreading misinformation to invalidate a school you don't like. The methodology is on the page and Emory and is on par woth UVA for business.

It’s not misinformation. It’s my opinion just like you have yours.

The only 100millionaire that personally know graduated from Emory works in finance. I know a lot of millionaires but 100M is next level.

Rice is decent but doesn't compare.

I'm a finance professor who spend years teaching at one of those schools and others. You can get a fine education at any of them. FWIW, Kerry Back moved from WashU and is at Rice now.

There is a coherent logic behind attending schools like Georgetown and Virginia with a good placement pipeline. Do you want your kid to end up in Atlanta, Tennessee, the Midwest, or Texas? In any case, don't let him choose his own major or career. It would be a tragedy if he got an actual education and pursued his passion to become a doctor, engineer, or egg-headed professor.

I have been a hiring manager for 20+ years in NYC - Vandy is waaay above Emory in all aspects

[Anonymous]

Just ED to NYU and be done with it.

Don’t get too obsessed where your child goes. Let them pursue their passion at any of these schools. The bottom line is about 80% of all interns in IB & PE don’t stay.

First of all no hiring manager would use the word waaay. Second, there is no such thing as a hiring manager at banks -- no title like that and no function like that. Third, there is no chance that the people doing it have been there for 20 plus years. Not the way Wall Street works. So you appear to be a liar.

All of the schools listed here are heavily recruited by NY banks. Rice maybe less. You do not need perfect grades. You need qualifying grades and then kill the interview.

Stern is a grinder school, a lot of Gung ho future bankers that make the competition stiff. It's also very big which decreases its per capita placement.

I see Michigan near the top of both listings. The vast majority on those hired come from Ross. Very impressive for a school that only has about 1500 undergraduate students. For comparison; NYU has about 2800 and Notre Dame has about 1700.

I don't know but washu seems to be declining a bit and from.what I heard Rice isn't a target for banks. So it comes down to Vanderbilt or Emory. I would go with Emory simply because I think DC would enjoy Atlanta more.
