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.

Wall Street firms don't even recruit at many colleges -- have you heard of target and non-target. I'm sorry, but where you go to college does matter for finance (IB and consulting) jobs.

They recruit where they do because that's where the greatest concentration of smart people with an interest in IB are located. It's efficient. It would be a stupid business decision, though, to refuse to look at applications from qualified applicants who went elsewhere. So yes, you're more likely to see a recruiter on campus at some places vs. others, but it doesn't give you a leg up on people with similar or superior skills from less known colleges.

As I mentioned above, Jamie Dimon (CEO of JP Morgan Chase), went to Tufts. The CEO of Bank of America's investment branch went to Colgate. The CEO of Schwab went to Ohio U. The CEO of Fidelity went to Hobart and William Smith. Vanguard's chief investment officer went to Penn State and is in charge of a team that manages over 7 TRILLION dollars in assets. None of these people are going to let the name on the diploma get in the way of hiring talent.

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.

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?

No but he's certainly not yelling HR to favor Tufts students. Also an Emory grad is CEO of Raymond James.

Yet NYU still didn't make the adjusted ranking now did it? NYU grads do not get the same jobs Emory grads do.
Despite being in New York and Emory in Atlanta. Emory grads make more.

Emory is also just ranked. NYU boosters need to get over it.

Schools that jump out:

- w&l - wow. Wouldn’t have expected this to be so high. I’m assuming lot of Atlanta / Charlotte ib?

- swat - def more preprofessional than expected - seems like it’s losing its way

W&L is NYC -- tight connections there, lots of alumni (and lots of students from NYC area).

No, these academic rankings have nothing to do with geographics.

Unless of course the implication is that people, systems and processes are smarter in the North.

There are many people that aren't interested in NYU...even kids interested in urban schools. The lack of a defined campus, the fact that STEM programs are over in Brooklyn, etc. Yes, it's great for Wall Street and the arts and a good school for many programs, but you won't even get the college experience of a Columbia or Penn.

Yet, NYU is probably the private college receiving the most applications well over 100K

Wow...it's official, we now have the aggrieved NYU booster to add to the NEU, Emory and UVA boosters.

Please, convince us now how NYU is actually better than the 34 schools ranked ahead of it.

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.

Yea like Singapore and Luxembourg have much higher GDP per capita(almost twice) than USA.

How about reduce it to more comparable size like Williams Econ vs Stern Finance.

After all, it is to see what gives you the most chance.

Williams Econ major or NYU Finance major
