[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first thought is that Wall Street will hire from any college that has qualified applicants. Useless lists like this just show us where the highest number of smart people who want to work with money are.

My second is that useless lists like this unnecessarily add to the anxiety of teenagers and parents by implying that it matters a whole lot which college you attend if you want certain jobs. It' doesn't.[/quote]
Do you think Wallstreet hires from Arizona State regularly? Where you go matters and lists like this help in making decisions. There is a post discussing Emory vs Tufts for business. A list like this is helpful in differentiation. Why pay 90k a year for tufts when you have little chance at investment banking, when Emory is a target for those banks? I would hate to send my business-minded student to Vassar when she could have gone to Middlebury or W&L for better results.  [/quote]

Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JP Morgan Chase and one of the most respected names on Wall Street, did his undergraduate studies at Tufts. Do you think he's telling their HR department to ignore applications from Tufts in favor of those from Emory?[/quote]
No but he's certainly not yelling HR to favor Tufts students. Also an Emory grad is CEO of Raymond James. [/quote]

Of course not. He's telling HR to favor the most qualified candidates, regardless of the college they attended. Which is the point I am making, and some folks on here incredibly seem to be arguing against.[/quote]

Jamie Dimon isn't telling them anything. If you think you can get into JP Morgan from Oberlin, for example, or Penn State, good luck! Maybe a couple win the lottery every year, but it is extraordinarily unlikely and you are far more likely if you go to Middlebury, for example.
