[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Columbia is the winner for Wall Street by a long shot.  They only have about 2,000 grads per year. 
Cornell is twice the size. [/quote]

Really? There at least a dozen schools including three NESCAC LACs which place considerably better than Columbia on a per capita basis.[/quote]

Data please.

I hope you don't beileve this. NYU is not that low [/quote]
It also says Columbia has lower placement than Vanderbilt? College transitions hasn't been a good data source for a while. [/quote]
I don’t see why Vanderbilt wouldn’t. It has a great Econ/HOD department, and Columbia has a lot of other professional careers it feeds better into.[/quote]
Then you clearly don't work in finance, that's the furthest thing from true. Columbia is a 10 min walk from wallstreet. [/quote]

Well, when adjusted for the size of the school, the biggest feeders to IB are:

Chicago
Dartmouth
Princeton
Georgetown
Harvard
Yale
Amherst
Middlebury
Williams
Duke
Penn
Notre Dame
Vanderbilt
Brown
Columbia
SMU
Cornell
Rice 
Northwestern
Boston College
Stanford

So yes, Vanderbilt is a bigger feeder than Columbia. Which makes sense. I don't think most students today choose Columbia because they want to go into investment banking. I'm a little surprised by how high Rice is and how low Stanford is - I didn't think anyone at Rice was interested in IB and I would have expected more from Stanford. But I am not at all surprised that SMU ranks so high today.
