[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither IU or Madison is Wharton... neither is a particularly great university or desirable beyond the frat/sorority/sports scene.

Your child's success will essentially depend on their "go getter" qualities, family/nepotism connections, and ability to network and market his/herself.

Probably a few from IU and UWM will match into top tier IB/MBB jobs, many into average finance/big 4/accounting/avg consulting jobs, others to perfectly fine business jobs.

What DC does will depend on them and on your connections.

Aim for the accounting internship affer year 1 or 2, key positions in student funds/consulting groups, spring insight programs and info sessions in banks/consulting in years 1/2... then you're in the best shape to get internships for the top business jobs after year 3. But you have to begin early and you have to be prepared.[/quote]

Yes because kids at Wharton don't benefit from nepotism.....lol. Here's a hint to business schools, it's all about nepotism. People in finance aren't particularly good at anything, whether that be intelligence or character; I think 2008 really spelled that out clearly. What they do have is connections. 
To be clear. Wisconsin is the better school, no doubt; much more respected on the east coast, while IU is only looked at for business. But, go where you think you'll have connections. If you want purpose, real relationships, while also willy to risk financial security, I would suggest you go down the economics path (with lots of math) and see where it takes you.[/quote]
