UChicago parent to be.  My D rec'd 2015 outcomes where 88% from UChicago got into med school vs 41% nationwide and link to 2016 outcomes where 82% got in vs. 39% nationwide.  [b]Surprised to see 48% of grads go into banking (Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley)[/b] or consulting after graduating while 11% go to STEM jobs and the majority of rest go to grad school.

Why did you or they combine banking and consulting? Misleading. The overwhelming majority of that 48% are consultants and the banking is Chicago office. UC is not a Wall Street feeder.[/quote]

I don't think you should measure a College by whether or not it's a Wall Street feeder, but you are wrong once again. You are a clueless moron who keeps posting blatant lies here. Stop embarrassing yourself.

According the WSO Investment Banking Industry Report, here are the top ten target schools in 2017:

And this is just from the changes at the College in the last few years. I think in another decade Chicago will become a top five. In fact their strength at Morgan Stanley already rivals Harvard, exceeds all other schools at Deutsch Bank and is rapidly climbing at JPMorgan. And this is for undergrad recruiting before you make some idiotic comment about this having MBA data in it.

Your list is misleading.  If you check the original report you are citing, the whole point of the report and the list was to show that state schools including UVA is catching up with top schools:

Bulge Bracket Banks - Target Schools
[b]Generally speaking, target schools are ivy league or ivy league equivalent schools but in recent years prestigious state schools have been improving their representation at banks making these schools a good alternative to the Ivy League[/b].  According the WSO Investment Banking Industry Report, we have found the top ten target schools in 2017 to be:

University of Pennsylvania
New York University
Harvard University
University of Cambridge
Cornell University
The University of Texas at Austin
Columbia University
Duke University
[b]University of Chicago[/b]
University of Michigan
These top 10 schools represent ~22% of all recruitment and hiring of bulge bracket banks in 2017.

[b]However, there are many other universities that make up the remaining 78% of all bulge bracket bank hires. Some other notable universities include:[/b]

[b]Yale University
University of Cambridge
University of Virginia (UVA)[/b]
Boston College
Duke University
UCLA
London School of Economics
Princeton University
Georgetown
Northwestern University
Arizona State University
Brigham Young University
Georgia Institute of Technology
Penn State University

You can see that UVA is only slightly below UChicago - in the same cluster as Yale and Cambridge.  You can read more about this statistic in the WSO industry report.
