The list by the OP adjusts for the size of the school. NYU is actually #2 when looking at the raw numbers, but drops out of the top 30 when you adjust for size.

Dumb to “adjust” for a big school when only a small number of students at the school are finance majors who end up on Wall Street.

Most of the schools on the list don’t even have undergrad finance majors…so not sure why it’s dumb.

Dumb that you didn’t understand I was referring to NYU which does have a finance major.

No, I did understand that you were referring to NYU...but again, you are for some reason angry that they aren't weighting the list only against the number of Stern students vs. NYU as a whole. The point is that a school like Williams sends kids to Wall Street in proportionally larger numbers even though they don't have an undergraduate business program. Also, they aren't all Econ graduates either.

In any event, Williams would still likely come out way ahead if you only looked at the number of Williams kids on Wall Street compared to Williams Econ majors vs. Stern kids on Wall Street and all of Stern.

Depends if it's Stern or not. Emory is the more prestigious school so for econ, CS, and Math it's Emory. NYU Stern is different so NYU for business.

Another delusional shameless Emory person.

Stern NYU

NYU has great internship options and opportunities during the school year.

Stern of course obviously, but I'm asking about overall combined as a whole for the school as these are the usual suspects for the Wall Street finance jobs.

I posted about taking loans out for better private universities and told I was an idiot.

I used to do recruiting and we mostly recruited from Penn and Harvard. I strongly preferred kids from Penn Wharton and MIT Sloane. HR must have sorted before giving us resumes to review because I honestly can’t remember any resumes from UVA or UMD. We didn’t recruit from there and I never interviewed anyone from there. I’m not saying a bright kid from UVA can’t be successful but it is much easier getting an interview and job when you are at Harvard or Penn.

Big Tech is dying.

I guess you don't really track.

We just had NVDIA earning yesterday and it was a blast.
Stock almost jumped 10%

NVIDIA hires from the same companies listed. They go for prestige too. FAANG is dying.

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.

Big name Wall Street firms have a target list of schools they recruit from. Some are published on their websites with dedicated recruiters from each target school. They may hire from any school - but some schools are more equal than others.

Econ is equivalent for the schools don't have dedicated business programs.

Crap list.

Use Poets and Quants. They have lot more credibility.

Actually, this list seems far more credible.

NYU is #2 when looking at raw numbers to Wall Street…it drops off OP’s list when adjusting for the size of the school.

Now, likely 80%+ of NYU kids going to Wall Street are coming from Stern, but hard to make that distinction.

No. Raw number is more credible but why not look at both for reference purpose.
NYU is a huge school. The per capita head counts music, art, etc students who has nothing to do with finance, so it's a bigger mislead.

They do. Go post that list if it makes you feel better…it’s in the link.
