Cornell is twice the size.

Really? There at least a dozen schools including three NESCAC LACs which place considerably better than Columbia on a per capita basis.

Wrong. The NESCACs start placing around 10th best.

Don’t trust a list with Claremont McKenna beating out Amherst for wall street

Claremont McKenna is literally an undergraduate college devoted to Economics and Government. Of course those students land well on Wall Street. You have to be extremely provincial to struggle to believe that Claremont McKenna wouldn't be producing grads going off to Wall Street at significant rates.

Just because you disagree doesn’t mean it’s false!

When were those halcyon days?

Kids have been chasing dollars since at least the 1980s when i graduated.

Perhaps back when the top marginal tax rates were much much higher? I suppose if a 90% income tax kicks in at a million it doesn't make as much sense to chase dollars.

I don’t know about finance, but from my experience in tech, managers get googly eyes when they see Berkeley. Something about the work ethic of depressed kids that had to fend for themselves. I know one who straight up said he avoids Stanford grads lol.

Berkeley undergrads? These days? Really?
Berkeley grad programs, sure. But the undergrads are getting in on GPA and essays.

Stanford grads aren't working for you because they want the job. They are working for you because they want that line on their resume before they go off and shoot their shot at some start-up or something. They're not interesting in making 300k-400k/year, not yet at least.

My unhooked kid is headed to Stern interested in finance, so I hope this isn't entirely true.

Myth and an excuse. Columbia students are harder working than the average student at getting into IB

Can avg kids get into Wall St and make 100k plus a year?
