Are my schools 'target' enough?
If this is on the wrong forum, let me know where to post. I am new here.
I read a lot on here about name brand schools, and I am wondering if the (undergrad) schools I am looking at are good for my end goal: working in PE/VC.
Washington University in St. Louis, Babson, Umich, UofT austin, and Wake Forest are my top 3. Also looking at Tulane and Elon as safety.
I don't think my test scores are not good enough to get into schools like Upenn, northwestern, etc. I understand that Babson has good entrepreneurship and finance programs but will it help me get a buy-side job right out of college? Which of these do you guys consider best/ are there any others you recommend.
WashU, UMich, and UT-Austin (maybe not for NY) are all targets for IB. I doubt any reputable PE/VC firms recruit at the mentioned schools though, especially out of undergrad. Maybe you can try the ER route. No idea where Babson and WF kids end up.
UMich is not a target. Ross is a target. WashU is a semi target at best. Very few BB's recruit there. UT-Austin is great for Houston and a target but probably a semi-target for NY. Take this all with a grain of salt though, as I am a few years removed from IBanking. This is just what I have seen and in my experience.
I guess I was using the term 'target' quite liberally. Yes, I was referring to Ross -- I have yet to see an art major from UMich break in. Yes, they are not true targets like H/W. Thank you for clarifying if it wasn't obvious from the get-go.
WF and Babson are definitely not targets. A couple of others schools I'd apply to are -
i'd probably be looking at some combination of umich ross, uva mcintire, cornell dyson, georgetown mcdonough, nyu stern, berkeley haas, BC carroll, ND mendoza. Safety Schools Indiana Kelley, BU Questrom, Wisconsin BBA
Wake is a target for Charlotte/ATL, not really for NYC.
it would be helpful to know your background/stats so people can give more tailored advice on where you should be looking
