Penn has Wharton. Remove Wharton the Penn ranking would drop a few notches for sure.

Otherwise it's a self-fulfilling list. Yes, these are the elite colleges, and yes, they send many grads to Wall Street/finance. For all the sneers, it's a decent route to making a good income and having a comfortable life.

A liberal arts school in California similar to Pomona. It's ranked 8th on US news.

This is a per Capita list so it controls for school population size. Notice how no other public schools made the list.

UVA is DFL. No excuses.

But the other public didn't make the list at all. UVA is the best public school for Wallstreet placement. That's shocking when Umich, UCLA, UCB exist.

For state universities, Berkeley, Michigan, and Texas ALL SEND MORE grads to Wall Street than UVA. And UVA is a couple thousand miles closer. These schools also send big time to Big Tech.

More overall and a higher percentage is a different thing. Schools like UT benefit from being gigantic. And most males at those schools are aiming for IB or FAANG so they have a ton of applications out of those schools. If you want you child to make big bucks as an analyst they have a better chance at UVA or one of the privates listed.

And other non Olympic sports at these particular schools

Right lol. But I think Stanford and MIT students focus mainly on tech.

More of a knock against Yale and Princeton. We all know that Stanford and MIT dominate tech, so we have an impression that HYP would be the top Wall Street feeders. But that doesn't seem to be the case.

Stanford and MIT in Silicon Valley are # 7 and 17 respectively. They don’t do that well in their own backyard.

Sorry, the link is here:

You saw the overall list, scroll down to see the per Capita list, there Stanford and MIT are 2nd and 6th respectively.

Top Feeder Rankings TECH (adjusted for undergraduate enrollment)
1 Carnegie Mellon University
2 Stanford University
3 California Institute of Technology
4 Harvey Mudd College
5 Columbia University
6 Massachusetts Institute of Technology
7 Georgia Institute of Technology
8 University of Southern California
9 Rice University
10 Duke University

What happened to HYP? Where are all those HYP grads going to if their alma maters are not top feeders to tech or Wall Street?

All ivies are liberal arts schools. For liberal arts, they are very well represented. If they are not in Silicon Valley or Wall Street, they’ll do fine. Not all ivy grads chase money.

You're making too many excuses. The way ivy's are worshipped on this site, one would think they would do better. But Princeton is 8th and Cornell and barely beat Notre Dame. It says a lot. DC is delusional.

Anonymous wrote:What’s the scope of Wall Street employment? Does the list include I-banking only or does it include BS commercial banking jobs or worse yet back office and admin? I would assume the latter because that’s the only possible explanation for schools like SMU, UVA and W&L being on this list.
