Undergrad schools on the rise for finance

I was wondering which undergrad colleges for a career in finance/IB are underrated?(excluding schools already established on Wall Street like UMich, NYU, Northwestern, etc) Which colleges do you think may reach top/higher rankings in the next 10 or so years? For example, USC used to be mainly known as a party school but has grown into a great, well-known college for business.  

 

Carnegie Mellon - most do engineering but seeing more and more of its business kids in wall street

Davidson- see more kids from this school albeit being liberal arts

Baruch - never thought of them as good school but saw quite a few from here

 

Placements from selective STEM oriented schools (schools like CMU/WashU/Emory and to a lesser extent schools like Georgia Tech/BU) have been improving significantly and will likely continue to do so as more and more alumni enter the industry.

 

Cornell for sure, we now have OCR for 2 bulges and 3 top MMs. Hard to beat that

 

Eos reprehenderit et harum dolore qui. Repudiandae et possimus sed enim aperiam fugiat. Cumque in illo rerum.
