What is Wesleyan University's reputation
on wall street? How do Wesleyan grads place? On their placement report, it did mention that Lazard, Goldman, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, and a few others hired Wesleyan grads...
Thanks.

You guys aren't even on the map.
i disagree with the poster above. Wesleyen is well respected. not a target, but you definitely have a shot. i had a girl from wesleyen in my analyst class.
Couple of kids make it to Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
very well respected school it is just too small for most BB's to waste their time recruiting at. You are highly marketable coming from there, however.
you need to go through alums
never even heard of it... nice looking website though
Use your alumni network. I'm sure there's a decent amount, and I'm sure Wesleyan people take care of their own.
My uncle ran Oaktree Capital for years and went to Wesleyan. Another cousin was CEO of McKinsey from Wesleyan. All through alumni networking though.
Is Wesleyan University competitive on the internship job markets? (Originally Posted: 01/15/2016)
I am a Math major in Wesleyan University. Did not do very well this semester, so got a 3.0 GPA. Before I transferred here, I had a 3.8 GPA with a Finance major. Is this school competitive on Finance industry internship job market? Am I competitive? And how competitive or uncompetitive?
bump
Maybe. It is a top NESCAC school. I can't imagine there is much recruiting there, so any attempts to get to IB will be through alumni outreach and networking. I have to imagine it will be significantly harder with a 3.0 though
Trying to find a summer internship as a Wesleyan University junior? (Originally Posted: 09/18/2015)
Hello, everyone. I am a junior in Wesleyan University who is majoring in Mathematics, and I am planning to study Financial Mathematics or Actuarial Mathematics in graduate school. Currently, I am looking forward to find and apply an internship in the summer of 2016 in investment banks, hedge funds, insurance companies, or in similar or related industries. Are there a lot of opportunities for a Liberal Arts College? Is it hard for a students from Liberal Arts College to be admitted by top-tier or high-tier firms? And what about the on-campus recruiting? Seems there are now only around 10 firms have on-campus recruiting here. Compared with the student size of Wesleyan University which is around 2800 to 3000, does it indicate that financial industry has high, medium, or low interest in undergraduate students from Liberal Arts Colleges for internship?
Considering the ceo of this website went to a liberal arts school and was in IBD and PE, I would say yes you can become an investment banker from a liberal arts college. A lot easier at one of the top schools obviously but you get the idea. Plenty of Investment bankers have a BA or BS in economics.
Do you think Liberal Arts Colleges can be target schools? I have heard that Wesleyan University has a strong mathematics department, plus the fact that it is highly ranked, do you think that can make it a target school?
Would you spend 30-40k a year to go to wesleyan? (Originally Posted: 08/05/2015)
Would you recommend spending almost 40k a year to go to wesleyan if the next best choice is going to a no-name state school for 10k. Id be going into debt personally, my parent would help me get the loan but would expect me to pay it.
Yes. Money is tangible and replaceable, your life and your time and the way you feel about what you're doing are neither of those things. One of my biggest regrets is not paying the cash when faced with the exact situation you're in now. I did make it in - eventually - but I'm not where I want to be and the path forward doesn't include the kind of options I wish it did. Take into account when making this decision that you're not just "buying" a degree, you're continuing to set the standard for your social circles and the expectations people will have of you.
Why not go to the state school, get straight As the first semester, and transfer to a better school than Wesleyan (not saying Wesleyan is not a good school)?
Wesleyan is the same school that tried/is trying to force its fraternities to be co-ed. That should be indicative of the weirdo SJW culture there.
This is what we call "correct advice."
sure why not.
Thanks for the great responses, would your answers be the same if the state school was free?
Do the transfer thing, or pick whatever major in the STEM fields your school is good at. Engineering is never a bad choice.
