Dude: "I'd like to go through full time recruiting my senior year for IBanking"

I think you know your answer already. You want to do IBD, so do IBD, dont let the name throw u off. Private banking is not IB and you wont do valuation or do enough modeling to talk about in the FT interview process. I'm someone that had no name on the resume and only had good experience and was able to get inerviews

network, keep your grades up, get a FT offer from Wells and leverage the shit out of it. If you take JPM just for the name and try to go through IBD recruitment after, then god help you.

I don't throw darts at a board. I bet on sure things. Read Sun-tzu, The Art of War. Every battle is won before it is ever fought- GG
 

Thanks for the advice guys, I appreciate it a lot. I ended up choosing the Wells dinner, hopefully that goes well and I crush the interview. I e-mailed the JP Morgan recruiter as well to let her know that I wish I could attend but had a previous commitment, and she said she would love if I could at least stop by and that I could attend the first 20 minutes of that post-interview reception as well, so things might work out after all. If anyone cares, I'll update with the decisions after they come out.
