FWIW, I understand that Fordham's MBA program does have placement in IBD (I know several recent graduates that have found work without swimming through hell and high water). I'm considering Fordham's MSF (new program) and have gathered that the school places about the same as comparable semi-targets: some OCR, average network, reputation is neither a strength nor a problem (like targets and non-targets, respectively).
I hope someone with a better understanding of all this can shed light on the topic.
Shia broke in.

A friend of mine currently has an interview with a MM for S&T next week. I know a few people who had S&T internships at BB, but no FT offers.
I did the 5 year BS/MBA program there not too long ago and managed to break into a S&T role at a BB. Going to the school doesn't help so much as does the proximity to the city and your availability (if willing) to work/intern during the year. ** As a disclaimer I did not do the 5 year program b/c i thought it would help me get a "better job" I simply wanted to stay in school a year longer and coincindentally the job market improved during that year as well.
Suggested and usual path at Fordham is to do an AM internship at ML or UBS, ideally your freshman year (spring semester), followed by more finance/S&T related roles aftewards. If you have 3.5+ and good experience on campus recruiting can help occassionally but for the most part applying on your own is key.
If you want to go into ibanking/S&T do not allow yourself to get sucked into the accounting mindset that much of the school pushes. They have a great program and placement for Acct but if that is not want you want to do steer clear.
Try and kill the liberal arts courses the first two years to get your GPA up or else you will really regret it and it will absolutely hurt your chances by not having at least a 3.5 GPA.
P.S. The bar scene is awesome/very liberal although the cohabition rules not so much....also, couldn't ask for a nicer campus.
Hope this helps.
I don't know much about its rep but I know that it had 63% of its MBAs unemployed at commencement last year (from an article named "top business schools with the worst placement records").
Expected that. Shit school implies shit job placement.
