target employment stats

I just found Cornell Dyson's employment stats for their undergraduate program: Cornell Dyson employment Stats

Only 4 MS? 2 GS? Isn't Cornell's ugrad program considered a top tier target?

Whereas, Wharton's is absolutely unreal: <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/rankings/und… Employment Stats</a>

Thoughts?

I know more than 2 GS personally (I go to Cornell)

That stats is from the business school alone - it leaves out Arts & Sciences, Engineering, and the Hotel School. If you didn't know, Cornell is segmented into 7 different colleges and each one keeps its own stats.

p.s. if you look at those two links you posted, UPenn has 4X the number of undergrad business students.

 
Brady4MVPWharton is by far the best undergrad business program in the country. No other school comes close. In terms of finance placement, it's wharton and harvard and then everybody else.

I laugh when notre dame mendoza alums in Chicago insist that their undergrad b-school is better than the almighty wharton.

mendoza alums: our business school is awesome like wharton!

then Brady starts laughing maniacally for several minutes as everyone stares in silence and slowly start leaving the room.

Money Never Sleeps? More like Money Never SUCKS amirite?!?!?!?
 

p.s. I shoulda mentioned that Dyson is a pretty small program in the university. It only graduates 150 kids per class...vs Wharton which admits 500+ per year.

And yes, no doubt Wharton is damn good school.

I also go to Cornell, and know a couple from other colleges here going to GS, BofA, Blackstone (I guess AEM doesn't place there at all), JPM, MS, and Citi each. AEM (or Dyson as non-Cornell students refer to it) probably only accounts for a little under half of the students from Cornell going to Wall Street. We also have Econ, another more typically pre-law program but that many try to spin into finance, and a fair share of diversity picks from random liberal arts backgrounds

 

Cornell is the number 4 school at Goldman (in terms of number of alumni), lead only by Wharton, Harvard and (Duke I think). Not completely sure how accurate that survey is but AEM tends to place extremely well. When I summered at Goldman I was (1 of 11 Cornell interns out of a class of about 120) in S&T alone, not including other divs like IBD, PWM, etc. So I think that speaks better to the placement. Wharton by far leads all schools in "FINANCE", not so much in other professions. I think people on here dont look at programs holistically and just focus on "high finance" placement...which probably explains why ND, Emory etc do well in the rankings

 
ConnorHow difficult is it to transfer to AEM vs the school for econ from another target?

Difficult, but possible. As stated above, it's something like 150 kids per class and a good portion of those are athletic recruits. I know four AEM transfers. Three were in-state community college transfers, but the other came from a relatively rigorous non-target (NYU CAS, Tufts etc.) All had stellar GPAs, and the non-target 4-year kid had strong test scores and essays as well.

Also, ILR sends some kids to Wall Street as well.

I wonder why cc transfers were able to break in along side a rigorous non-target.

 
bryan521Wharton may send more people to GS, but overall ND is still number one.

I'm sorry, how is Mendoza better than Wharton? I'm interested in seeing how you manage to justify that.

I think he is saying that Mendoza is number one in terms of female graduates. Or employees at McDonalds. Or members of Occupy Wall Street. Wait, I actually don't know what he is trying to say

 

Hi Everyone,

People keep telling me that Wharton is a non-target in terms of coolness. Can someone shed some light on this?

Apparently guys from U of Michigan, Duke, USC, and Boston College get all the hot chicks...

They told me about this really smart guy from Wharton but the only chick he ever hooked up with was a fatty working in Ratings at S&P?

Thanks for your help

Tommy

That might be the weakest attempt at trolling I've seen on this site. Where are we - pre school?

Ok Ok I'm sorry. The guys from Notre Dame, UCLA, and Vanderbilt are getting a lot of ass too.

I'm just trying to put together a fun alumni party in NY....trying to decide what schools to bring together. I'm an entrepreneur from a West Coast mega-target and I've been splitting my time between Tokyo, London, and Istanbul. I want to stop off in New York this weekend but since i don't have a lot of time, i want to make sure some hot girls are at my party.

Many Thanks,

Tommy
