What do you guys think of transferring from Brown to Johns Hopkins for Ibanking? Also, in your opinion which has more street prestige? I know this does not mean much but JHU is ranked 13th by U.S News whereas Brown is 16th.

Makes little to no difference, I don't believe any of the banks actively recruit at JHU.
I said it before, and I'll say it again; there is a lot more you should be thinking and worrying and preparing for then perceived "prestige". These rankings are nonsense and you need to get your head out of the garbage bin. Both schools are great schools. Do you think anyone really cares between what U.S News ranks x and x+1? Come on, its actually getting annoying on these forums and its making me close to deleting my account and not help people with legit questions.
The only way x >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>^2!!!x+1 is if the person who is interviewing you went to x and has an affinity for it. You want to get into Investment banking? Take this for advice, go read books concerning the subject that your school isn't providing you. Make contacts and talk to them. Start a PA so you can follow the markets, it will keep you informed.
This mentality of "oh should I switch to columbia from Penn so I can get into CS over JPM" is absurd..
No one cares about USNWR except for high school students. Personally, I'd say both will give you a quality education, but the kids I know at Brown are having way more fun than the ones at JHU.
Talked to this one kid from Johns Hopkins during recruiting season and he said that banks don't really recruit there. I don't know much about OCR at Brown though, so can't speak to how much better JHU is in that respect - but this guy made it seem like the ibanking opportunities at Hopkins were almost non-existent.
Brown > JHU for recruiting, no brainer. GS loves brown, and almost all banks dislike JHU as you can see from their OCR. Stay at Brown.
JHU is really out of the way of everything, except for shooting episodes of The Wire.;which hurts recruiting JHU. If your a lacrosse player, JHU is better at lacrosse at least.
Brown. Recruiting for IBD is strong relative to JHU by a long shot.
My impression has always been that Brown has better recruiting. JHU is a great school (as is Brown), but I have literally never met anybody from there in finance, while I have met several Brown grads.
This thread is THREE YEARS OLD... let it die.
(Brown > JHU for recruiting by a very significant margin for all the aforementioned reasons.)
