[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope don’t agree with this list at all. My top IB where I am a partner/senior managing director - hires from all over the place.

Where your list is most structurally off is underweighting SLACs. Williams and middlebury should be way higher - and so should other SLACs - Hamilton, Colgate and yes in some parts of the market Bucknell. I am sure I am missing more.

Those grads at our firm and others loved their schools and are often more helpful in recruiting. My last hire was from vassar. I turned down Yale grad for that.

I went to HYP so I am not knocking it. But we cut through name brands to pretty fast. Bloom where you are planted, stay humble regardless  and then call us.

I also work on Wall Street and agree with this.  If one does well at almost any of these schools, and can demonstrate grit and is a hard worker, they will have a good shot at breaking into the industry.

I’ve personally found NYU kids (not necessarily always from Stern) are scrappy and willing to hustle a bit more - ie being in the city can do internships year round etc.  But we’ve hired from schools across the board[/quote]
