[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is a rising high school senior with dreams of working for one of the big Wall Street banks (Goldman, JPM, etc.) after college. His older cousin went that route out of Harvard, and after making it through two years of hell in the form of 80-90 hour weeks, he's living the good life and making bank. DS doesn't have Ivy stats like his cousin, but he's a strong student with a 3.8UW/4.3W at a respectable public, 1480/33, and well-rounded ECs including varsity sports, student government, piano, volunteering, etc. He wants to stay in the eastern half of the country but otherwise is geographically open. What schools should be on his list?[/quote]

The best feeders for his goals are ivies , , MIT, Stanford, Northwestern, Duke, maybe 1-2 more. Yours is not that level based on stats, so aim one tier lower. Look at poets and quants. Lots of T15-T30 could work out for him, but those are still reachy based on 3.8uw(unless he is from a super top private or boarding school where 3.8uw is still top 25%)[/quote]
